“For me, the Summer Festival is simply an essential part of summer in Munich. That is why I am once again delighted to serve as patron this year. It is a wonderful opportunity—especially for families—to enjoy the holidays together, featuring creative hands-on activities, plenty of fun, and the unique atmosphere of the Olympic Park. The fact that the festival is free to enter makes it a special offering for everyone,” says Mayor Verena Dietl.
Olympic Park CEO Marion Schöne explains: “A stroll through the Summer Festival means immersing yourself in new worlds of experience—time and time again. For 24 days, from morning till night. We place great importance on curating an eventful program for all guests—whether they are locals or visitors to the state capital, young or old, sports enthusiasts or culture lovers—packed with popular classics and, of course, new attractions. And I believe we have succeeded once again, thanks in no small part to our many partners, whom I would like to sincerely thank for their commitment.”
