Volksfest

Cannstatter Wasen

Huge fun fair on the Cannstatter Wasen, beer tents and rollercoasters, late September-early October. (Families should go there during daytime: after 20:00 beware of drunken people.) Canstatter Wasen is the second largest fun fair in the world. Visiting it is more pleasant and less crowded than the Oktoberfest in Munich.
