The Marketplace as a Festival Mile

The venue for the festival is the historic Marketplace in the center of the old town. Throughout the day, the square transforms into a large, summery festival mile with numerous food stalls run by local associations and restaurateurs, music stages, and a family-friendly program. A characteristic feature is the strong involvement of Grafing's club life, which operates stalls and helps shape the program.
