Tradition since the 1980s

The Ebersbacher Stadtfest has been the social highlight in the Ebersbach event calendar since the 1980s. The organizer is the Verbund Ebersbacher Vereine (VEV), an alliance of all local associations — from the music club and the gymnastics club to the Albverein (Swabian Jura hiking club). This very club life makes the festival special: every stall is operated by volunteers, and the proceeds flow back into youth work and club funds.

Festival Mile in the City Center

The venue is Hauptstraße and Kirchheimer Straße in the Ebersbach city center — both streets will be completely closed for the weekend. Stalls, stages, and seating areas line up for several hundred meters. Several main areas with live music will be set up in the center, with club stalls offering food, drinks, and activities distributed around them.

Program Highlights

Saturday afternoon — Opening at 3 PM with keg tapping, daytime program until well after midnight
Sunday morning — Morning pint (Frühschoppen) with brass music
Sunday afternoon — Family program until 6 PM, often with Sunday shopping at Ebersbach retailers

Gastronomy by the Associations

The culinary diversity is impressive because each association brings its classic dish: Bratwurst and fries from the sports club, Maultaschen (Swabian dumplings) from the Albverein, pizza and spaghetti from the Italian cultural association, cocktails and punch from the youth club, coffee and cake from the church groups. Plus beer from a local brewery and Württemberg wines from the nearby Remstal valley.

Live Music on Several Stages

On the main stage in the town center, three to four regional bands play every year — cover pop, rock, and Swabian dialect music alternate. A second stage is for smaller acts; the Ebersbach town band and show dance groups also perform on Sunday morning.

Ebersbach in the Filstal Valley

Ebersbach an der Fils is located in the district of Göppingen, about a 30-minute train ride from Stuttgart. The S-Bahn connection (S1) makes the festival attractive for visitors from the entire Stuttgart metropolitan area. Those coming from the Remstal valley or the Swabian Jura will also find a short journey.
