\"1-IMG_5994\"<\/a>That lovely Winter festival that I became slightly addicted to last year (and <\/span>made any excuse to return to<\/a> time and again!)? \u00a0It has a Sister. Fonder of the summer months, and held instead at the ever impressive Olympia Park…<\/span><\/p>\n

And whilst there are obvious similarities between the two – the fantastic music from anywhere and everywhere, the global food stalls from all four corners, interesting stalls to peruse etc. \u00a0Perhaps thanks to the setting, this one has a real summer festival feel to it (reminding me of a few of our UK festivals without the occasional rain and wellie boots!), with outdoor bars and bier gartens everywhere to sit and relax in, I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer’s day… \u00a0 Plus it’s great for Small People, as Summer Tollwood<\/a> has a tent dedicated entirely to them, and in which mine spent a happy hour or so yesterday afternoon, making animal masks to decorate the huge ark that sits just outside (that also doubles as a playground), creating rattle snakes by hammering nails through bottle tops and threading them onto wire (can’t imagine that being allowed at home – but we had no squashed fingers!), and in the Kinder Kitchen making crocodile sandwiches.<\/p>\n

I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but if you are in Munich between now and the 27th July (it all began on Wednesday) then I really recommend that you get yourself down there!<\/p>\n

Do check out ArtsinMunich<\/a> if you are somewhat summer festival obsessed too – Rachel really is the Bavarian expert!<\/p>\n
