Munich. “Zamanand in Europe” brings the “Idea of Europe” to Munich on the last weekend before the European elections. Anyone who knows Munich will appreciate the street festivals on Ludwigstrasse, from sporting events to the IAA. This year the “Zamanand Festival 2024” will take place for the first time, the successor to the previous Streetlife Festival. On June 1st and 2nd, festival visitors will find numerous attractions and stages between the Victory Gate and Odeonsplatz (see below). The festivals fall as we celebrate them: the following weekend the 866th birthday of the city of Munich and the big old town festival will be celebrated - June 8th and 9th, 2024 (article in this blog). This new street festival aims to take a look at the “challenges of our time”. And how can this be more relaxed than with good live music, hands-on activities and workshops.

Today Zamanand Festival - Formerly Streetlife Festival
The ZAMANAND festival in EUROPE has, among other things, the motto “Participate – join in the celebration – vote!”
The festival marks the end of the Munich European May 2024. It is, so to speak, the finale before the European elections. There are art and culture, discussion formats and activities for young and old on two stages on Odeonsplatz. “Zamanand in Europe” is intended to bring the “idea of Europe” to life on the last weekend before the European elections.
A campaign is called car-free through the summer
You can test e-bikes, marvel at BMX stunts, try parkour yourself and take part in many workshops.
The special children's area
In the “Kinderland” (for kids aged 4-14) you can be creative, do crafts, run around and learn to relax with yoga.

These stages and stands await
the visitors at the Zamanand Festival
ZAMANAND stage
It is the main stage of the festival. Blues, country, jazz, folk and other handmade music are played - the small beer garden invites you to linger.
The stand of the main partner M-net
Interactive actions are planned here that focus on the topic of climate protection.
The M94.5 stage
There are women at work here: artists with a partly experimental musical spectrum and the team of the training radio station M94.5 are looking forward to new female talents who expand the mainstream on stage.
The Artist Jam stage
It is the stage for hobby music fans of all generations and genres - people come together to jam and strum. “Artist Jam” is intended to provide a platform for beginners and hobby musicians.
Make music together and then network. The active community has its own rehearsal rooms, which are used for weekly rehearsals. Let's look forward to the music program: it will be performed live - THERE IS a music program (from pop to metal), the open stage for cover songs, the singer-songwriter session and of course free jamming.
Anyone who wants to make music can join in here - beginners are also welcome.
SDG Stage presented by PULS (Puls Bühne)
With live podcasts, panels, discussions and workshops, PULS will take viewers along with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Anyone who would like to present themselves can take part!
The popular world dance stage
The “World Dance Stage” is designed by the Salsamás dance school: you can learn new moves and perform them yourself. All contributions are welcome here. Dance in Europe is diverse!!!
The Hall2 living rooms
The green area in front of the LMU (Prof.-Huber-Platz) is Hall 2. Here we experience sofa concerts like at home: in the living room made from second-hand furniture, visitors will experience music. You experience the musicians up close.
And: if you like furniture or objects, you can reserve them on site and pick them up in Hall 2 a week later!
KOLLEKTIV-ARKADEN hosted by Dreschwerk
Let's come to electronic music: the Munich scene has many DJs, live acts and visuals. The shady arcades of the Ludwigskirche are reserved for these highlights.
AND: on Sunday, June 2nd there will be a DJ workshop for the kids here.
