India Summer Days Karlsruhe

With once again more than 40,000 enthusiastic visitors (2025), the India Summer Days Karlsruhe are among the largest India festivals in Germany. With free admission, the festival will once again take place this year alongside DAS FEST at the Günther-Klotz-Anlage in Karlsruhe. With a wide range of offerings from Indian culture, the India Summer Days give special prominence to the long-standing and strong German-Indian partnership between Karlsruhe and Pune, as well as between Baden-Württemberg and Maharashtra.

In addition to the three-day interactive stage program (Friday through Sunday) featuring dance, live music, and authentic performances, visitors will have the opportunity to actively participate in special hands-on activities at the active playground.

Authentic culture, a yoga program, cricket, Indian cuisine, and exotic scents: Set up like an Indian village, this festival weekend also offers the chance to explore a bazaar featuring jewelry, textiles, spices, and culinary delights, along with special elements of Indian culture—and the authentic Indian cuisine on offer invites you to taste India right in the heart of Karlsruhe.
