On New Year's Eve, party people are drawn to the Theresienwiese at Tollwood. The winter festival is a tried and tested party venue for the turn of the year! If you want to bring the year 2025 to a special end, celebrate with live music and DJs at the legendary New Year's Eve party. Last year, the Muffatwerk hosted a New Year's Eve party in the café, the Ampere and the Muffathalle. A different DJ played in each area - with everything from hip hop to electro and funk.
Other Munich clubs also invited people to party on New Year's Eve. Whether you preferred to dance to techno and house at Roten Sonne or hip-hop and the latest hits at Sweet - there was something for everyone at Maximiliansplatz.

The Seehaus in the English Garden offered exclusive menus at the turn of the year, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed and culinary start to the new year 2025.

In the Lustspielhaus, the old year ended and the new year began with the cabaret artist Django Asül, who gave a satirical review of the year.
There was also a ban on fireworks within the Mittlerer Ring in Munich in 2024. Despite the reduced number of fireworks in Munich's night sky, many people gathered in various places throughout the city to celebrate and toast the New Year.
On the Schwanthalerhöhe, at the foot of the Bavaria or on the Olympiaberg you could marvel at the fireworks. On the other hand, Munich's romantic souls spent the New Year not in the hustle and bustle of the crowds, but in more secluded places, such as the Monopteros in the English Garden.
There was also a wonderful view of the night sky over Munich from the Friedensengel. This meeting point now has cult status and has become a firm New Year's Eve tradition. You could also toast with a glass of sparkling wine on the numerous bridges over the Isar. There was also plenty of space on the Hackerbrücke to marvel at the fireworks over the city.
The old year ended on a sporty note at the New Year's Eve run in the Olympic Park. Nordic walking enthusiasts were also able to take part in the short distance.
