Schlemmerfest — Street Food Festival Augsburg Gaswerk

Industrial Backdrop of the Augsburg Gasworks

The Old Gasworks in Augsburg's Oberhausen district is one of Swabia's most impressive industrial monuments. The historic brick halls from the late 19th century have been carefully renovated in recent years and now host cultural events, concerts, and festivals. The annual Schlemmerfest uses the large forecourt and open spaces around the gasometers as the festival grounds — industrial romance meets modern street food culture.

Food Trucks from All Over the World

Organizer J. Gökhan and his team at Schlemmerfest GmbH bring a colorful mix of international food trucks and show kitchens to Augsburg every year. The offerings range from Asian specialties (Dim Sum, Bao Buns, Korean BBQ) to Latin American classics (Empanadas, Tacos, Arepas), as well as Swabian and Bavarian creations and vegan options. Show kitchens demonstrate live cooking, and cocktail bars offer drinks to enjoy at the festival.

Three-Day Musical Program

The Schlemmerfest is designed not only for culinary delights but also for music. Friday evening is dedicated to a 90s and 2000s party with a DJ, while Saturday features the live band Midlifegroove, a five-piece soul-funk combo. Sunday is Family Day with a bouncy castle, play area, and a relaxed atmosphere — ideal for parents with young children visiting the festival in the afternoon.

Augsburg and its Neighborhood Festivals

Augsburg, Bavaria's third-largest city with around 300,000 inhabitants, is one of the cities with the densest festival landscape in southern Germany. The spectrum ranges from the Friedensfest and Augsburger Sommernächte to the Modular and Brecht festivals. The Schlemmerfest at the Gaswerk has established itself in this environment as an unpretentious, family-friendly neighborhood festival that scores points with fair admission prices and a clear concept.
