Abgesagt | München narrisch - Münchner Freiluft Fasching

In the organizer's words:

After careful consideration, the municipal department and Märkte München as the organizer have decided not to hold the municipal carnival events on Thursday, 27 February and on Shrove Tuesday, 4 March at Viktualienmarkt:

"As a city family, in light of the attack and especially due to the violent death of our colleague from the city administration and her young daughter, it seems inconceivable to us to celebrate carnival at the Viktualienmarkt without a care in the world. As a city family, we cannot simply pull the lever again in the face of our many colleagues who were physically and mentally affected by the attack. As a city family, we are deeply affected, saddened and stunned by the immeasurable suffering that has befallen our hometown.

We therefore ask all those who have been working towards the two events for weeks and months to understand that both municipal carnival events at the Viktualienmarkt are hereby canceled.

As a city family, we have not taken this decision lightly - just as the Damische Ritter did when they canceled yesterday's big carnival parade. But we believe it is necessary in these difficult times.

The time will come when we can celebrate peacefully and happily together again. We can't do that at the moment."
