Karlsruhe City Festival
October 12 and 13, 2024
At the end of the summer, Karlsruhe spruced itself up once again and celebrated the start of fall on the second weekend in October.
On Saturday and Sunday, the Karlsruhe City Festival 2023 featured live music and gastronomy, hands-on activities for children and young people, street art & walking acts, a flea market on the Kronenplatz and the open Sunday for the best party and shopping atmosphere in the entire city center. Parallel to this, on Saturday there was a festival on the Schlossplatz with "Karlsruhe jumps" to experience top-class athletics up close.
