Cannstatter Wasen Beer Festival
During the evening, guests have the opportunity to take part at Germany‘s 2nd biggest beer festival, the Stuttgarter „Cannstatter Wasen“. At the end of September things really heat up during the Stuttgart Beer Festival. Its numerous fairground attractions and the vast beer tents make it one of the world’s biggest and best beer festivals. Similar to the famous one in Munich, but with much much more local visitors and local flair!
Still today the 24 meter high and highly decorated fruit column in the middle of the festival grounds is a reminder that the young, beloved Wuerttemberg Queen Katharina with her husband King Wilhelm I gave this to the people of the country in 1818 at the end of a period of starvation
Location: At the Stuttgarter, “Canstatter Wasen”,
fifteen minutes east from the city centre.
Capacity: Massive – between 6000-8000 per tent
Exclusive: Not possible
Atmosphere: Rustic, typical. Authentic, Bavarian. Party
Kitchen style: Classic Bavarian dishes. Food is not hyper important on the party, where everything is turning around the beer. The quality is good due to the high turnover, but it’s mass kitchen with very simple presentation.
Things are really exciting in the large festival tents holding up to 5000 guests. Bands wearing traditional clothing ensure the cheerful entertainment and the delicious Käsespätzle (Swabian noodles with cheese), roast, potato noodles with sour kraut, Göckele or crispy knuckles are a good base for many liters of beer.
Of course also a stroll around the fun fair area is a must. Super looping, haunted houses, racy water rides and the largest transportable Ferris wheel in the world make strolling along the Wasen to an enormous jamboree. For the daring, the spectacular rides are pure pleasure, the romantics look forward to the chain carousel and the ship swing.
Seat reservation conditions are much more convenient here at Stuttgart (compared to Munich Oktoberfest) and we are happy to reserve for the evening. Please note, that entrance/reservation to the tents usually is free of charge. However, to get reservations in tents, for all of them you need to purchase meal/drink vouchers in advance. The value you need to pay for varies from tent to tent but usually starts at about 35 EUR p.p. + WWG Service charge, which covers a costs for half a roasted chicken and 2 glasses of beer (a „Mass“, 1litre). Vouchers don’t have to be spent on the above mentioned items, but can be used for the full menu available.
We are happy to discuss a meal arrangement for the whole group and have calculated with higher rates to cover costs for an evening with lots of food and drinks…
