Karlsruhe lets late summer melt in your mouth! Balmy summer evenings can be enjoyed to the full in the city, as numerous culinary highlights are waiting to be discovered. Whether delicatessen, picnic, beer or wine - Karlsruhe offers a wide range of delights and invites you to try, discover and feel good.
On September 6, it's "all white please!" again: For the 12th time, the Dîner en blanc will take place in Karlsruhe and celebrate the French way of life in a special setting. The stylish gourmet picnic brings community, enjoyment and elegance together at one table. Dressed all in white, guests can enjoy homemade delicacies outdoors and spend an unforgettable evening with old and new friends. The special attraction of the dinner is the secret venue. The meeting point is only announced shortly beforehand via the social media channels of KTG Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH. All food and drinks, decorations and furnishings are brought by the participants themselves and after the meal everything is left as it was found. What remains is the memory of a special evening with delicious food and the anticipation of next year.
Another grand finale for Karlsruhe's summer of indulgence: until September 14, gourmets have the opportunity to discover the city's culinary diversity. As part of the joint promotion by KTG and eight Karlsruhe restaurants, you can enjoy an exclusive three-course menu for a fixed price of €99. Demand for the exclusive promotional menus remains high. Another success: since the start of the summer of indulgence in June, the participating restaurants have welcomed numerous new guests and even familiar guests have once again taken the time to enjoy themselves.
Numerous beer exchange fans will once again gather in Karlsruhe's largest beer garden from August 29 to 31, when the Karlsruhe Beer Exchange opens its taps in the palace garden for the 23rd time. There will be a choice of over 500 local and exotic beers fresh from the tap. For all those who want to try different varieties and don't want to decide straight away, there are around 60 stands offering a small sample in a practical "ProBIERglas" - also non-alcoholic. In addition to beer, snack stands offer specialties for the small appetite in between, while various bands complement the program with varied entertainment.
Beats, drinks and a vacation feeling in the middle of the market square: on September 12 and 13, guests at Lounge 76 can relax for the last time this year with extravagant cocktails, a variety of DJs and culinary specialties on the market square. For the first time, Lounge 76 will be held under the motto "Celebrate diversity, enjoy music!". On the initiative of KTG, the organizer City Initiative Karlsruhe is setting an example for inclusion with more space for dancing, including for wheelchair users. In addition, there will be an inclusive music program with the dance group "EFI tanzt" and the blind singer Kerstin Kolb on 13 September from 5 pm. The screening of the music video "Wir haben nen Traum" encourages people to sing and dance along and shows what people with and without disabilities can achieve together.
At the end of the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE, another culinary highlight between Karlsruhe Castle and the market square invites you to linger.
