The event kicks off on Friday, September 5. Here’s what to expect from the program and how it will affect local public transport.
Munich – Concerts, art, culture: The Isarinselfest is a lively street festival for all ages. It takes place from Friday, September 5, to Sunday, September 7, along Steinsdorfstraße by the banks of the Isar, stretching between the Maximilian Bridge and the Ludwig Bridge.

From pop and rock to jazz, the program offers something for every musical taste, spread across four stages. On Prater Island, visitors will find a “Latina Corner,” while the Kulturstrand beneath the Ludwig Bridge will feature live DJ sets. Dance enthusiasts can join in too: Zumba classes will be held on Friday at Prater Island, while Saturday offers the chance to try Bachata.
