Admission is designed uniquely within the Street Food Festival concept: You pay a one-time fee of 4 Euros for the festival pass at the entrance, granting you free entry for the entire weekend. Children up to 12 years old get in for free. Dogs are allowed — an unusual gesture in Germany, making the festival family-friendly for dog owners. You then only pay for the food and drinks at the trucks themselves, typically between 6 and 12 Euros per dish — the typical street food price range.
Heilbronn — Wine, Käthchen, Neckar
Heilbronn, with around 126,000 inhabitants, is the seventh-largest city in Baden-Württemberg and a central hub in the Unterland region. It is known for Württemberg wine production — Heilbronn is the largest wine city in Baden-Württemberg — and for the character Käthchen from Heinrich von Kleist's play "Das Käthchen von Heilbronn." Wertwiesenpark is centrally located on the Neckar in the Heilbronn-Mitte district, in close proximity to the city center. Visitors to the Street Food Festival can perfectly combine their day with a stroll through Heilbronn's old town, a walk along the Neckar riverbank, or a visit to the Käthchenhaus.
