The Schwetzingen Spring Festival combines the grand Asparagus Saturday (usually in early May) with stages, live music (featuring the radio station SWR3, among others), asparagus competitions, shopping and family activities, as well as the ‘Schwetzingen in Bloom’ event, which finds the town center decorated with flowers and which takes place in spring. Added to this is the famous cherry blossom display in the Palace Gardens (March/April), which attracts many visitors, as does the Palace’s ‘blossom barometer’.
Up-to-date details on events can be found on the Stadtmarketing Schwetzingen website (sms-schwetzingen.de).
