Tollwood Winter Festival
Confirmed edition
About
Tollwood's winter festival transforms the Theresienwiese into a festive village of theatre tents, world music and an alternative Christmas market. The main 2026 festival ends before Christmas; New Year's Eve is a separate event.
Highlights
- Alternative, artsy Christmas market on the Oktoberfest grounds
- Theatre, circus and world-music programme in heated tents
- Organic/fair-trade food and a famous festival feast
Practical tips
- More bohemian than Munich's traditional Christmas markets
- Book theatre and concert tickets in advance
- Combine with the city's Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz
