What is the City NOW?
A festival from 21st to 29th of June 2024
Who or what is our city? For the “What is the City NOW?” festival, scientific, artistic and educational institutions in the city are coming together to take a look at life in Munich. Together with the people of Munich, we want to hear and see previously unheard stories about Munich, create new places and celebrate life in Munich - for an open city for everyone!
At the end of the festival, the Münchner Kammerspiele, together with all its sister institutions, will organize a street party on Falckenbergstraße and in the Theaterhöfe.
All events:
