Ludwigsburg Venetian Festival

Travel with us to Ludwigsburg where Mediterranean flair meets baroque ambience and experience Germany’s Dolce Vita, the great Carnevale di Venezia. It began 250 years ago, with the Duke of Wurttemberg who was completely taken with the bustling atmosphere of the beautiful lagoon city and brought the Venetian flair to his residence for us to enjoy today.  

After arrival, we dive right into the buzzing festival atmosphere of beautiful illusions and breathtaking shows of acrobats and fire magic. Visit the arts and crafts market featuring more than 50 vendors, selling spectacular goods normally only known to Venetians, such as colorful masks, unique fabrics, as well as the famous Murano glass.

A special highlight are the elaborate gowns and masques worn by over 2000 local and international artists performing on 10 different stages captivating their audience with spectacular shows of singing, dancing, fire juggling and more.

We encourage everyone to come “en masque” to blend right in with the colorful bustling atmosphere of that day.
