FC Bayern München Celebrates Victory

Tue 16th May, 2017

FC Bayern München is yet again the German championship Bundesliga winner for the 27th time - and the 5th time in a row.

Reason enough to celebrate with the fans! Therefore the football team will present themselves on the town hall balcony at Marienplatz from around 8pm on Saturday 20th 2017. The Warm-up party starts at 6pm.

Because of security measures Marienplatz, where the town hall is situated, is likely to be blocked when overcrowded. Expect delays for this family-friendly affair and arrive early to make sure you get to the platz on time.
