IBA’27 Festivals

The IBA’27 Festivals in 2023 and 2025 will provide insights into the methods, projects and ideas of the IBA even before the 2027 exhibition year. As interactive and experimental formats and festivities, they allow to experience urban development as a collective process in the Stuttgart Region.

09.05.-24.05.25: IBA’27-Festival #2

From 9 to 24 May 2025, IBA’27 opened its doors and construction sites to the public. At numerous locations across the region, visitors were able to experience how IBA’27 is addressing future-oriented issues relating to construction, housing and community life.

The two-week festival offered a varied programme: guided tours of IBA projects, ground-breaking ceremonies, open construction sites, community festivals, exhibitions and discussion forums. The project sites became meeting places for exchange, architectural enthusiasm and regional identity.

23.06.-23.07.23: IBA’27 Festival #1

With the IBA’27 Festival #1, the International Building Exhibition 2027 StadtRegion Stuttgart celebrated its first interim presentation together with the people of the Stuttgart region. Over the course of four weeks, the IBA had put together a varied program with many partners. More than 120 events took place during the festival month: Exhibitions, discussions, parties, performances, workshops, guided tours. Projects and plans were presented, more sustainable ways of (re)building were discussed, people picnicked under apple trees and danced on parking garage decks.
