Tollwood Summer Festival Starts on Thursday!

This Thursday marks the begining of the Tollwood Summer Festival. Since 1988, Munich summers have been graced by the warm weathered counter part of the Tollwood festivals. From June 18th to July 12th, the Olympia Park will play host to hundreds of musicians, artists, performers and kiosks selling everything from organic hemp shirts to schnitzel. You can enjoy the festival for free! Or, if you would like to see any of the many fantastic entertainers, check out the Music-Arena List for more information. Special guests include the Kaiser Chiefs, Lauryn Hill, The Boss Hoss and many more!

Looking for a play or acrobatic act? The Theater List provides information on the many performances that will be shown throughout the festival. If you’re rather spend your time in the action, check out the Tanz Bar (Dance Bar), where you can shake your money maker to music from all over the world. Swing? Salsa? It’s all there, just pick one and go!

Of course there are also kid and teen friendly activities, as kids have their own tents and events to go to. This year’s focus is health and how to have a healthy summer, so kids will have the opportunity to learn about nutrition, sports and even how to prepare their own food. Parents, take advantage!
