Arts and culture
The Saarländisches Karnevalsmuseum exhibited carnival costumes of the Saar region. It was closed in 2013.
The St. Ingberter Pfanne is a well-known cabaret event, which took first place in 1985.
The Federal Festival of Young Film (Bundesfestival junger Film) is one of the largest German-language short film festivals for young filmmakers. It has been held decentrally in St. Ingbert since 2018 and is aimed at filmmakers under the age of 29 with prizes worth 20,000 euros.

The St. Ingbert Museum gave an overview of the life and work of the St. Ingbert Impressionist Albert Weisgerber on 485 square metres. With more than 70 paintings and many other works, the Albert Weisgerber Foundation owns a large part of his works, which can be classified between German Impressionism and the beginning Expressionism. The museum had an additional area of about 450 square metres, which was intended for temporary exhibitions, as well as other rooms. Initially in municipal hands, the Museum St. Ingbert was transferred to the Albert Weisgerber Foundation, newly established in 1991, whose ideal and financial sponsors were the town of St. Ingbert and the Saarpfalz district. The museum was dissolved in 2007. The Alte Baumwollspinnerei was planned as the new museum, but the opening date was postponed indefinitely.
