Stuttgart Events & Festivals

Fell­bach­er Herb­st is an annu­al cel­e­bra­tion of the wine har­vest that grew out of the local cel­e­bra­tion of Ern­ten­danken­fest, the Ger­man Thanks­giv­ing for the har­vest. The Fell­bach Autumn fes­ti­val is sec­ond largest har­vest fes­ti­val in the Stuttgart region after the Cannstat­ter Volks­fest.

The fes­ti­val takes place on the sec­ond week­end in Octo­ber. On Thurs­day night there’s a wine tast­ing from local wine­mak­ers in the Schwaben­land­halle. Fri­day evening there is a flower com­pe­ti­tion and a stage show. On Sat­ur­day and Sun­day, the fair­ground is set up with rides, food and wine ven­dors, and even a wine foun­tain. Sat­ur­day after­noon, there’s a large parade (with a new theme every year!) fol­lowed by a speech from the may­or, while on Sun­day evening there’s a fire­works dis­play. The fes­ti­val offi­cial­ly ends that Monday.
