From May to September, a wide variety of street festivals fill the lively, beautiful and often tucked-away streets of Munich. These events feature live music, children's programmes and tempting culinary delights. One thing unites them all: the joy of celebrating together. Latest update.
This community-based festival around “Untere Weidenstraße” in the Giesing district is organised entirely by volunteers. A Crowdfunding initiative is currently running to secure the event and support the organisation. Guests can look forward to a vibrant street party with live bands, children's activities, beer gardens and various barbecue stations.

Two street festivals that originally emerged independently from each other, each focused not only on celebration, but also on idealism.
The Zamanand Festival began as a “car-free day” initiated by the City of Munich and was co-organised by the Department for Climate and Environmental Protection. Following the successful continuation as the Streetlife Festival from 2003 under the patronage of Munich's environmental organization Green City, the event has become a popular fixture in Munich's festival calendar.
The Corso Leopold Festival is primarily characterised by art and culture, with a prominent art event by Schwabing artists as the centrepiece. Stages are strategically set up at key intersections, complemented by stalls and tents offering music, theatre performances and readings – and of course, there are delicious food stalls.
Together, the two festivals offer a colourful programme spanning a length of approximately 2.3 kilometres.
