Munich Frühlingsfest 2007

Munich's 43rd Frühlingsfest opens on the Theresienwiese from 20.Apr thru 06.May.
This event signals the beginning of the "Volksfest Season".

The Fest is open daily from 1100-2300 (2330 on Fri/Sat). This years event consists of two large beer tents with daily live music,
a beergarden, and lots of carnival-type rides. On the second Friday there will be a fireworks show.

So, there it is... you have until April 20 to make your plans. Let the sign-ups begin!

The Festival website: Frühlingsfest Theresienwiese has the entire program of events..

where does this take place i am new to germany munich so dont have sense of direction yet which subway stations do i need to use to get to this festival.

thanks..

Same place as the Oktoberfest.
You could try the Theresienwiese subway station. Just a wild guess, mind.

Thanks for the information appreciate it..

Hi,

Is there a group of you guys going? I'm curious..coz I happen to be in town from April 22 to 23 alone...and I definitely wanna check Frühlingsfest out...so I'd love to meet some people up to go with...
Can anyone tell me how I can sign up?

Thanks

Just took a lunchtime stroll across the Wiesn. Preparations are going on apace: rides being bolted together, that kind of stuff. The tents look miniscule compared to the Oktoberfest, mind.

Rather speaks for the Frühlingsfest, don't you think

No, I do think it does rather.

Just taken another lunchtime stroll around the construction site. When I wrote "the tents" yesterday I was exaggerating in number if not in spirit. Make that "the tent".

you are making it sound more and more attractive to me, Jeeves

So, "the ride" and "the snack stand" are being set up, too? Isn't the beer-tent Augustiner? (another reason to go there)

One of them, yes...though I hate Augustiner. If it's the same as the last few years, there's two tents. Seriously, go to the states, buy colt 45 and try to tell me it's not the exact same shit.

Man: Doctor! Doctor! I keep thinking !'m the Frühlingsfest!
Doctor: You know your trouble? You're too tense! (2 tents)

It kind of doesn't work written down. You have to say... ..oh never mind!

Tips to find stuff in Munich.
We have Google here. Type in "Frühlingsfest Theresienwiese" and if you understand German or click on [Translate this page] you can find out stuff.
Also www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/index.html can help to navigate via public transport.
Finally Google Maps can help you find streets and places. And of course the Toytown website that has useful information.

Are there any other places a newcomer should look?

This sounds like a good plan for a Friday beergarden for this week! Has anyone spotted the sitting outside area? Is it big enough for the all of us?

Weather not looking so good now for an outside Beergarden. 13deg according to the BBC.
