December 7th - 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. WALKACT Krampus Run on Theresienwiese
Munich - Theresienwiese - Tollwood Winter Festival: today, December 7th, at 6 p.m. the eerily beautiful Perchten walk act with gruesome horns, bumpy wooden masks and fluttering fur starts on the festival grounds. The whole thing lasts around 60 minutes and it will definitely be loud and colorful. Oh yes, the rustic fellows from the Alpine country bring luck and blessings with them. No entry! Simply take the subway to the Theresienwiese stop and watch the Rottaler Habergoaß, the Hexn and Rauwuggl dance and drum. The Perchten runners come from the Bayerbach e.V. customs association and parade through the market streets on the festival grounds.
