Cannstatter Volksfest - Stuttgart’s Oktoberfest
By rocky | September 29, 2007
Stuttgart is not only the home of Mercedies Benz and Porshe it’s home to the annual Cannastatter Volksfest- the second largest beer festival in Germany (or the world for that matter) after Munich. The centrepiece of the festival is the huge Ferris Wheel and 24 metre basket of fruit. The festival dates back to 1818 and now attracts over 3 million people to its two weeks of celebration. There are huge beer tents but they are not as big as that found in Munich, but its much easier to find a beer here as things are not quiet as busy.
This years event starts today and goes through until the 12th of October.
