About Kulturstrand Munich

Every summer, the M-net Kulturstrand brings a holiday feeling right into the heart of Munich: From May 1st to September 14th, the area around the Vater-Rhein-Brunnen at the Ludwigsbrücke is transformed into a free urban beach with sand, loungers, a stage, and a cultural program. Organized by the Urbanauten with M-net as the title sponsor, the Kulturstrand has been a popular meeting point for Munich residents of all ages for years. The program includes live music, DJ sets, the popular M-net Hofkonzerte on twelve Wednesday evenings, a flea market every second Sunday, sports and children's activities, and catering. In 2026, there will also be the Maximiliansstrand at the Wittelsbacher Brunnen. Admission is free – a relaxed summer spot for everyone, right on the banks of the Isar.
