Summer Festival of Cultures July 19 - 24, 2024
The first Summer Festival of Cultures took place in the summer of 2001 - back then on a smaller scale in the courtyard of the Altes Waisenhaus. What has developed in recent years from the festival organized by the Forum der Kulturen Stuttgart e. V. is a success story that is unparalleled throughout Germany.
For six days, there is dancing, partying, snacking and feasting in Stuttgart. Stars of the international world music scene will thrill audiences with rousing concerts of various genres from griot to indie rock, ska and Balkan beats to cumbia, rumba, flamenco and much more - all with Free admission. Stuttgart's (post-)migrant organizations and initiatives will provide culinary delicacies from all over the world and a diverse cultural programme for adults and children. There will also be a colorful market of cultures meandering through the side streets of the market square.
The festival, under the patronage of Stuttgart's Lord Mayor Dr. Frank Nopper, is not only a cultural highlight in the city's festival offerings - it is also an emphatic and positive signal against racism and exclusion of any kind.
