    Tollwood Festival Munich: A Forum for Culture and Environment

    The Tollwood Festival in Munich is a diverse and unique cultural and environmental festival that has been held biannually since 1988. Here are the key aspects of the festival and the organization behind this event:

    Key Products and Services

    • Summer and Winter Festival: The festival takes place in summer at the Olympiapark Süd and in winter at the Theresienwiese. Each festival offers a wide range of cultural events, including music from rock, pop, jazz, and blues, theater performances, performances, and visual arts[1][2][4].
    • Market of Ideas: A central component of the festival is the "Market of Ideas," which features over 200 artisan stalls with jewelry, textiles, clothing, toys, musical instruments, and other handmade products[1][2].
    • Organic Certified Gastronomy: The festival offers a diverse selection of organic certified gastronomy from around the world, focusing on sustainable and environmentally friendly nutrition[1][2].

    Main Mission and Values

    • Culture for All: Tollwood follows the philosophy that culture should be accessible to everyone. Therefore, over 90 percent of all events are free of charge. Access to the festival grounds is also free[2].
    • Tolerance, Internationality, and Openness: The festival reflects a multicultural society and promotes tolerance, internationality, and openness in all its programs and structures[2].

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    • Environmental Protection: Tollwood is strongly committed to environmental protection and sustainability. The festival supports ecological projects and advocates for an end to industrial factory farming, in collaboration with the German Animal Welfare Association[1][2].
    • Sustainable Gastronomy and Handicrafts: Through organic certified gastronomy and a focus on handicrafts, sustainability is promoted in all aspects of the festival[1][2].

    Additional Initiatives

    • Corporate Events and Christmas Parties: Tollwood also offers tailored packages for corporate events and Christmas parties that can take place in the magical setting of the winter festival[3].
    • Cultural Diversity: The festival showcases a wide cultural diversity, including international musicians, theater productions, and performances that provide an emotional and cultural journey for visitors[1][2][4].

    The Tollwood Festival is thus not only a cultural event but also a commitment to a just and sustainable world, which is made visible through its diverse activities and initiatives.
