Unfortunately, "Resl's Collective Garden" has already packed up its disco ball again, but others are just setting it up: What you can do on the Theresienwiese this summer.

Chilling in the palm garden

Palm trees sound like a vacation - and it feels a bit like one when you chill out in the palm garden on the Theresienwiese, at least when the weather is nice. Find a place to sit and make yourself comfortable in the shade of the palm trees. That's what the initiators of Greencity e.V. are all about, by the way. So it's not just about chilling out, but also about how important shady places are in a city. Unfortunately, the palm trees won't be there forever, but only until September 15. But still.

Play beach volleyball

If you don't just want to admire the shade of the palm trees, but also want to move around, you have to go one step further. Literally. Because the beach courts for playing beach volleyball are right next to the Palm Garden. You can book a slot online in advance, with two hours starting at 30 euros, while weekends are a little more expensive.

See the city from above

However, there is still a touch of the Wiesn on the Theresienwiese, because as part of "Summer in the City", there are once again rides and fairground stalls there this year. For example, the Kettenflieger, which catapults you to a lofty height of 70 meters. You have to like it. But we can probably all agree on one thing: Beer or Spezi, something hearty to eat and roasted almonds afterwards. You can get everything here too. The rides, showmen and restaurants are open daily from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. So if your little Oktoberfest craving comes knocking, you know where you can satisfy it.

Experience art squared

Resl's collective garden has been replaced by Kunst im Quadrat. The name says it all: for 16 days, art in a wide variety of forms is presented on 50 x 50 meters. Concerts, performances, DJ sets and much more are presented by Munich artists and cultural professionals. The cultural program runs daily from 16:00 to 22:00. Unless, of course, the rain has something against it. You can also just drop by spontaneously, registration in advance is not necessary.

Drinking beer at the Hadern stand

If you are thirsty for really good Munich beer, we recommend the Haderner Bräu stand. The organic brewery from - who would have thought it - Munich-Hadern is bringing all types of beer to the Theresienwiese this year. In addition to pale and wheat beer, for example, there will also be an IPA. There will also be organic sausages from the Packlhof organic butcher's and vegan sausages in a roll. The stand is open from Monday to Friday for an after-work beer from 17:00 to 21:00 and at the weekend from 12:00 to 21:00. The stand remains closed when it rains, as no one is likely to come anyway.

Bouldering in the Kraxlkolletivgarten

It's not up yet, but from mid-August - at least that's the plan - a bouldering wall from the Kraxlkollektiv will enrich the Theresienwiese. Money was raised for the wall with the help of crowdfunding, and now helping hands are needed. So if you are a talented craftsman or a bouldering enthusiast, get in touch. So that soon the Theresienwiese will be the place to climb.

Practicing roller dances and looking insanely good doing it

If you want to use this summer to learn to dance smoothly on four wheels, then the Theresienwiese could become your second home. The Munich Rollerdance Squad often meets here. Among them is Munich roller skater Nicole Adamczyk, who told us a lot of interesting facts about roller dance here.

Learn new dances

The Kocherlball has been canceled again, but you're in the mood for some traditional dancing? Then we can only say: off to the Theresienwiese. Because Bavarian dancing is practiced here every Thursday until the end of September. No previous experience is necessary and participation is free of charge.

Sipping cocktails in the Funny Lemon

In case you're wondering what the big yellow lemon on the Theresienwiese does: Aperol Spritz, cocktails with freshly squeezed juices, beer & wine. Because you can get all of this at the Funny Lemon, every day from 11:00-21:00. Unless the weather is bad, then the lemon stays closed.

And one more important piece of information at the end: Toilets are also provided at the Theresienwiese.
