Munich: spring festival in summer? "Requirement is, that ..."
Munich-based consultant for labor and business Clemens Baumgärtner very much regrets these steps: “The corona crisis hits the showman trade hard. There will probably be no popular festivals this spring. However, it is important to me that the spring festival does not have to be canceled completely. If the crisis should end by early summer, it would be a great signal for the showmen and the Munich population to have a party on the Theresienwiese. The prerequisite is, of course, that there are no more official restrictions and that it is logistically possible on the course. ”
No earlier than June will decide whether the Oktoberfest has to be postponed or even canceled.
