HENKERSFEST 2026

In the organizer's words:

The Henkersfest has been an integral part of Stuttgart's summer for decades and brings people from all over the city together every year to celebrate, enjoy music and experience life in the city center. With regional artists, local bands and a diverse range of events, the festival stands for culture, community and a real Stuttgart attitude to life.

Since last year, the Henkersfest no longer takes place at the original Henkersplatz, but has moved to the neighboring Leonhardsplatz in front of the Leonhardskirche. The new location brings fresh impetus while remaining true to the long-standing tradition.

In this way, the Henkersfest continues to combine what makes it special: regional culture, lively music and an open, sociable atmosphere in which Stuttgart residents come together and have a good time.
