Feuerseefest

14th Feuerseefest — July 9th to 12th, 2026

The 2026 edition takes place in summer for the first time since the date change — four days around the Feuersee with two stages, theatre, a children's program, and the unique district atmosphere. On the Rosenau Stage in front of the Johanneskirche, regional bands play in the evenings, the Buntsee Stage on Gutenbergstraße features younger acts with live music and DJs, the Theater der Altstadt presents theatre and performances, and for the youngest guests, the Hosenboje by MTV Stuttgart stretches across the lake — a rope slide for children between the banks.
