Sommerfest.
The Sommerfest (Summer Festival) in the Olympiapark is set for
July 28-August 21, 2011. In only a few years since its inception,
the Sommerfest has grown quickly in popularity. Sited on the Coubertin-Platz,
the Sommerfest schedule of events
creates an Oktoberfest atmosphere, complete with beer tents that stay
open until 10 pm. The stage in the Bierzelt or Beer Tent stays busy every
evening and all day on the weekends with Blasmusik and plenty of Bavarian
Oom-pah tradition. In the Theatron, a small open-air theater on the Olympic
Lake, fest visitors are treated to Munich's musical offering of rock and
jazz. There are even puppet shows for the kiddies in the afternoon and
big fireworks shows scheduled for Thursday evenings at 10 p.m.. (Additional

Return to Fest Calendar
  The Sommerfest is relatively new to Munich, but it's an annual event that offers yet another Oktoberfest-style experience (a lot smaller in scale of course) with plenty of beer, music, and stomach-churning thrill rides.
