Karneval countdown
For the adults, then look no further than a night with the Spider Murphy Gang, Munich's favourite home-grown talent. This yearly event is very popular and is hosted in the Heide-Volm beer garden in Planegg. Though not compulsory, it is a costume event, so treat yourself to something from HORROR-SHOP'S great collection of Fasching attire and dress to impress for this most particular of Munich events. The Gang is supported on the night by Thunderbirds und DJ Chuck Herrmann, but remember to check ticket availability prior to turning up at the door.
For those new to Munich and the German-speaking world, Fasching, or Carnival as English-speakers call it (Karneval in German) may seem a little eccentric. Yet in Munich, it is a vital part of city life, and one can't call oneself a true Münchner until one has replaced one's mask of respectability, with one a little bit more flamboyant and fun. Only one week left to don that costume and live it up - The Munich Eye looks forward to seeing you at many of these events in the coming days.
