Ettlinger Marktfest

Marktfest 2025

The Ettlinger Marktfest 2025 took place, as in previous years, on a late August weekend. The city of Ettlingen remained the organizer, coordinating the festival with Ettlingen's clubs and associations.

The historic old town with its market square, castle square, and Marktstraße has been the venue for the Marktfest for decades. The baroque setting — especially Ettlingen Castle with its sandstone walls — gives the festival a unique character. The Marktfest is the highlight of the city's summer event calendar, alongside the Ettlingen Castle Festival, which holds its final performances in the castle courtyard concurrently.
