Celebrating 200 years in 2018, the Cannstatter Volksfest, the Stuttgart Beer Festival, is the world’s second biggest beer festival and runs from September 28 to October 14. This 17-day-long event kicks off with the traditional keg tapping: the mayor draws the first beer from a barrel of specially- brewed Festbier (festival beer). Seven vast tents are where thousands come for beer, crispy pork knuckles, whole roast chickens and live music.
