Der Cannstatter Wasen beherbergt das Cannstatter Volksfest sowie das Landwirtschaftliche Hauptfest.
Wegen des großen Besucherandrangs hat die Polizei auf dem Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart mehrere Zugänge gesperrt. Der Zugang zum Volksfest sei nur noch über den Eingang an der Mercedesstraße möglich, teilte die Polizei mit. Über die Unterführungen und über den Krämermarkt kommen Wasen-Besucherinnen und Besucher demnach derzeit nicht auf das Festgelände. Dadurch soll der Besucherzustrom runtergedrosselt werden, wie ein Polizeisprecher sagte. Die Kapazitätsgrenze sei bislang aber nicht erreicht.
Dem Sprecher zufolge befanden sich am frühen Nachmittag zeitweise insgesamt fast 80.000 Menschen auf dem Wasen, etwa 60.000 Menschen auf dem Cannstatter Volksfest und 19.000 auf dem Landwirtschaftlichen Hauptfest.
