TOLLWOOD WINTER FESTIVAL - Alternative Christmas market and more...
The day before the festival starts: The Christmas tree lights up, the silver grape glitters and the big silver unicorn spins
Tollwood Winter Festival on the Theresienwiese in Munich from November 26th to December 23rd, 2024
Munich. The Christmas tree lights up, the silver grape glitters and the big silver unicorn spins. The Theresienwiese becomes a shining eye-catcher on the Oktoberfest meadow in Munich in the late afternoon. Here the Tollwood Winter Festival attracts visitors with the “alternative Christmas market” with international productions, street theater, organic gastronomy from all over the world and handicrafts. Here you can find great gift ideas and experience almost 90 percent of the events, such as theater, art, music, performances and a great children's program, free of charge. Entry to the festival grounds and to the Market of Ideas and so on is free of charge!

This year there are glowing tent roofs for democracy and community - the motto this year is “We need you!”
The last decorations are being put on the stands, because tomorrow, Tuesday at 2 p.m., the stands will be lit up and the Tollwood Winter Festival will illuminate its roofs in all its glory.

This year's motto for the Tollwood Winter Festival from November 26th to December 23rd is “We need you!”
Means "Democracy needs commitment and cohesion" and every single one.
As darkness falls, the tent roofs of the festival will turn into glowing canvases. An installation “A luminous manifesto in defense of our democracy,” according to the organizers. At 7 p.m. the audience will see the glowing “Love Story to Democracy” on the roofs of the tents. Then there are the “value benches” in the bazaar tent, which leave behind their own, very personal messages “about democracy and community”.
