Stuttgart rival to Munich’s Oktoberfest opens with keg tap
Read more on post.
The world’s second-largest folk and beer festival after Munich’s Oktoberfest kicked off on Friday — Stuttgart’s Cannstatter Wasen.
Around 300 innkeepers and market traders will open up daily until October 12, hoping to match last year’s 4.6 million visitors.
Proceedings began with the traditional keg tap at just after 4:30 p.m. by Stuttgart Mayor Frank Nopper. It took just two hammer blows to get the beer flowing.
Baden-Württemberg state premier Winfried Kretschmann from the Green Party was also on stage at the opening of the festival’s 178th edition, accompanied by brass bands and fanfare groups.
Attendance will hinge on weather and consumer mood, with festival host spokesman Werner Klauss saying that, with Germany’s economy still in the doldrums, economic conditions seem tougher this year. Table bookings for the eight festival tents have remained roughly the same, he said, but in some cases have declined.
“You have to recognize that times have become more difficult for innkeepers,” Klauss said ahead of the event.
What is the Cannstatter Wasen?
The three-week beer festival and traveling funfair is sometimes also referred to by foreign visitors as the Stuttgart Beer Festival, although it is really more of an autumnal fair.
Nevertheless, the Volksfest is widely considered to be the second-largest beer celebration in the world.
Besides the beer, the Cannstatter Wasen features huge fairground rides, colorful parades, live music stages, hearty Swabian food stalls, candy stands, and a bustling market with games and crafts.
The festival traces its origins to 1818 as a harvest festival created to celebrate agriculture after years of crop failures and famine caused by the volcanic winter following the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption in Indonesia.
In subsequent decades, the Volksfest evolved beyond its agricultural focus. Traditionally a parade also takes place, the first of which was held in 1841 and featured more than 10,000 participants and 100,000 spectators.
Oktoberfest — which started last Saturday and runs until October 3 — started earlier as a celebration of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria marrying Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810.
There’s no figure as to how many hectoliters of beer are sold at the festival, because in Stuttgart — unlike in Munich — this is treated as a trade secret.
One estimate is of about two million liters (more than 500,000 gallons), compared with some 6 to 7 million liters at the larger Bavarian celebration.

Ex-shadow chancellor John McDonnell has been readmitted as a Labour MP alongside Apsana Bagum, after a year-long ban for voting against the government on the two-child benefit cap.
They were among seven left-wing MPs who, days after Labour’s 2024 landslide, backed an SNP motion to scrap the cap – which prevents almost all parents from claiming Universal Credit or child tax credit for more than two children.
Six of the MPs have now rejoined Labour, which has softened its stance on the cap in recent months. The seventh suspended MP, Zarah Sultana, resigned from Labour last month to set up a new party with ex-leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour has not commented on why the MPs had the whip restored.
Begum used her return to the party to criticise Labour for suspending rebellious MPs.
In a social media post, Begum said: “I will continue to oppose the two-child limit at every opportunity.
“It is unconscionable that other colleagues remain suspended for voting with their conscience against cuts to disability benefits, along with the longest serving Black MP Diane Abbott, while others retain the whip, like Lord Mandelson.
“All I have ever wanted is the chance to serve safely and freely with equal opportunity as an MP.”
Their return to Labour comes seven months after the whip was returned to Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain and Rebecca Long-Bailey for their rebellion.
Although the government won the vote comfortably, it marked the first Commons rebellion of Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership.
Some MPs on the right of the Labour Party had been pushing for McDonnell – a long-time ally of Corbyn – to be expelled from the parliamentary party on a more permanent basis.
The two-child cap, introduced under the Conservatives, prevents households on universal or child tax credit from receiving payments for a third or subsequent child born after April 2017.
After winning the 2024 general election, Labour said it was not prepared to make “unfunded promises” by abolishing the cap.
The Resolution Foundation think tank says axing the policy would cost £3.5bn and would lift 470,000 children out of poverty.
McDonnell and Begum’s suspensions ended on Friday following discussions with the new chief whip, Jonathan Reynolds.
It comes as ministers face rising pressure to abolish the cap, with both Labour deputy leadership candidates expressing opposition to the policy, along with voices from outside Parliament such as Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.
Last week, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said scrapping the two-child benefit cap was “on the table”, in the clearest sign yet that ministers could scrap the policy.
Phillipson, who is also running to be deputy leader of the Labour Party, said tackling poverty “brought me into politics” and she would fight on the issue “day, in, day out” if she won the role.
“I am clear that everything is on the table, and that includes removing the two-child limit,” she added.
The issue is expected to be a key theme of Labour’s annual conference, which begins in Liverpool this weekend.
Reform UK has also pledged to scrap the limit if it wins power, although the Conservatives have said getting rid of it is not “economically credible”.
The government’s long-awaited Child Poverty Strategy was expected in spring but has yet to be published.

Time Out has unveiled its eighth annual list of the World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods – with Dublin’s Liberties securing a spot in the top 25.
Every year, Time Out, the global brand that motivates people to explore the best of their city, compiles a list of the most exciting neighbourhoods worldwide. The yearly list is assembled from nominations put forward by Time Out’s international network of editors and writers.
The chosen areas are then evaluated against factors such as culture, community spirit, livability, food and drink offerings, street life, and what Time Out refers to as “that hard-to-define sense of ‘nowness'” to determine the 39 coolest neighbourhoods globally. This year, The Liberties in Dublin 8, where medieval walls and 18th-century libraries coexist with modern cafés, antique shops, and Michelin-starred restaurants, is ranked 23rd, reports the Irish Mirror.
“It may be one of Dublin’s oldest neighbourhoods, but alongside medieval remnants and terraced houses, the Liberties is home to some of the hottest spots in town – from Argentinian bakeries (hello, Bakeology) to classic pubs,” writes Time Out’s Dublin expert Nicola Brady. “This past year, the Liberties Festival went from strength to strength, holding events like sunrise yoga in the panoramic Gravity Bar of the Guinness Storehouse.
“The neighbourhood has also witnessed some brilliant new additions emerge, like Change Clothes, the fashion swap and upcycling store, plus Bold Boy bakery and Cleo Prickett Studio for slick contemporary tailoring. Plus, CitizenM chose the Liberties as the location for its first Irish hotel, and the punkiest Michelin-star spot in Ireland, Variety Jones, has just reopened in a brand-new space. What more could you want?”
Those seeking a ‘perfect day’ out in the Liberties are encouraged to “wake up in the new Citizen M, then stroll through the gardens at St Patrick’s Cathedral and pop into Marsh’s Library to say hello to its resident ghost”. Other essential activities include calling into Two Pups for a coffee and a za’atar, feta and hot honey pastry, then wandering up Francis Street to browse the antique shops, the guitars in Some Neck and vintage lingerie in Space Out Sister.
Those hoping to dine out in the Liberties are encouraged to grab dinner in Variety Jones, or “get a killer pizza in Coke Lane at Lucky’s”. For those seeking the ideal time to visit, Time Out suggests checking out the Liberties Festival in July.
If you can’t make that, aim to be in the neighbourhood for the Dublin Flea Market, typically held on the last weekend of the month. Leading Time Out’s ranking of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods at present is Tokyo’s Jimbōchō, which has been praised as “a historic university enclave and a bibliophile nirvana that enjoys a charmed existence just a quick stroll away from the city’s high-powered business districts”. Time Out reports that Jimbōchō boasts approximately 130 second-hand bookshops, with most situated in modest, somewhat dated mixed-use structures they occupy alongside traditional coffee and curry houses.
