Check out Munich’s New 2020 Summer in the City Festival

For those of you in Munich this summer, all is not lost! Actually, if you’re already living in Munich you pretty much have it all anyway. Stop rubbing it in!

From now until September 7th, Munich is hosting what’s being called “Summer in the City”—a 6-week festival taking place all over the city. Yes, right now. In 2020. Miracles are real!

Because the city of Munich had to cancel Oktoberfest this year, they’ve decided to offer Summer in the City as another way to “celebrate life” and help vendors supplement their lost income now that the city is beginning to open back up. (Don’t worry Oktoberfest, nothing could replace you!)

Summer in the city – what to expect

Summer in the City offers thrill rides, vendor stalls, concerts and shows, cultural programs and events, sports, and more, all spread out around the city. You won’t find any beer tents but there will be many beer gardens. You can work on your tan and your buzz at the same time—it’s a win-win.

All of the Summer in the City locations offer beer gardens except Mariahilfplatz and *gasp!* the Theresienwiese. Maybe we have entered a parallel universe after all.

Summer in the City safety measures

But just because celebrations are taking place, don’t for a second think the merriment of the past is resuming as scheduled. There is still a list of mandatory coronavirus protocols in place. This list includes mandatory mask-wearing, capacity limits, social distancing requirements, and more.

For all the information you’ll need on experiencing Summer in the City, check out the Meunchen.de page or head over to the official Summer in the City web app.

If you’re able to get over to Munich this summer, be sure to check out Summer in the City and help out the vendors and other small businesses affected by Oktoberfest’s cancelation. Grab yourself a beer and slather on the hand sanitizer.
