Carousel Lover's Autumn Delight
The fair begins at the end of September and lasts two weeks.
The Autumn fairground is officially opened when the Lord Mayor of Stuttgart taps the beer barrel in a beer tent on a Friday evening. The enormous beer tents have room for up to 5,000 people and all beer is served in litre glasses. On the following Sunday there is a two hour long procession of decorated wagons many of the people in the procession wear historic period costumes. They are often accompanied by animals such as horses, oxen, pigs and goats. The procession walks through a suburb of Stuttgart to the fairground. So there is plenty of time to take lots of photographs to show back home.
