Cannstatter Beer Festival

In terms of size, the Cannstatter is second only to the Oktoberfest in Munich. Rows of beer lovers sing along to oompa band classics in large marquee tents, washing down their favourite golden liquid with tasty Swabian snacks. An exhilarating fairground is the setting with one of the world's biggest mobile Ferris wheels, reaching 198 feet (60m), as the backdrop. The celebration takes place over two weeks in the fall.
