AUGUST 2022

The Munich European Championships 2022 is the largest multisport event in Germany since the 1972 Olympic Games - and we’ll all celebrate together! Together we will bring life back to stadiums and arenas. World-class racing, breathtaking suspense and a unique atmosphere await you. Still excited?

The biggest sporting event since the 1972 Olympic Games is livening Munich up. 9 European championships in 11 days, with the Olympic Park at the heart of it. In the thick of it and all around: The Roofs – Cultural Festival of Munich 2022. A festival of variety and surprise, The Roofs is accompanying the European Championships Munich 2022 with a mix of music, culture, arts, food and many more. The park is turning into the hot spot of the summer – for young and old alike. Rather small-town charm than giantism. The Roofs is a special place of experience and adventure for both visitors and participants.The park will be turning into the summer’s place to be, with plenty on offer for young and old alike, for him, her, them, and us. Greatness in a cosy setting, The Roofs is not presenting itself as a festival of superlatives, but rather a special place of experience and adventure for both visitors and participants.The concept of pop-up experiences is creating a novelty setup and setting the stage – literally and figuratively – for the unexpected. The traditional event setup with the bundling of theme-specific contents in the same area is rearranged for The Roofs. Individually themed worlds will be created and spread across the entire Olympiapark, the Königsplatz and the Olympic Regatta Centre Munich – each with its own character in terms of content and design.The programme is a tribute to 50 years of Munich Olympiapark and symbolises the variety of this unique location, its history, present, and future. The individual roofs – differing in size – convey a small-town charm rather than giantism and focus on uniqueness rather than uniformity.

FOOD AND DRINKS: All culinary cravings are well catered for. The Roofs takes foodies on a culinary journey through Europe: whether it’s traditional, international or crossover cuisine, everyone will get their delicacies and their money’s worth.

ARTS: Art is the daughter of freedom, as Friedrich Schiller already acknowledged. The Roofs provides art with space to develop and reflects the range of creativity. Fine arts, rhetoric, crafts, and design present themselves in full grandeur.

CULTURE: The name says it all. The Festival of Munich 2022 is based on the diversity of culture. Dance or theatre, film or comedy, magic or musical - culture is colourful, creates a wow effect, reflects the local colour or presents itself with international flair. This is also the case in Munich.

MUSIC: Soft tunes and big sounds. Mellow melodies and groovy beats. Music is connecting. Music is moving. Music is inviting to dance and dream. And so it is more than just beautiful entertainment, it is an essential part of The Roofs.
