Flower Power Festival 2023

Celebrating nature in the city

Munich is blooming

February 3 – October 7, 2023

Gasteig, Kunsthalle München, Botanical Garden and BIOTOPIA are joining forces to launch a citywide festival centered around the blossom in 2023. “Celebrating Nature in the City” is the motto of the festival, which will illuminate the phenomenon of blossoming from both the aesthetic-artistic and the scientific sides.

Between February 3 and October 7, 2023, the Flower Power Festival will take place throughout the city of Munich. Following the nationally sensational Faust Festival in 2018, it is to be the second major event in the Bavarian capital in which everyone can participate, whether large institutions, small associations, renowned cultural institutions, well-known parks or private initiatives. The starting point is the exhibition “Flowers Forever. Flowers in Art and Culture,” which will be on display at the Kunsthalle München from February 3 to July 9, 2023.

Initiators

The Gasteig, Europe’s largest cultural center, the Munich-Nymphenburg Botanical Garden, BIOTOPIA – Bavaria Museum of Natural History and the Kunsthalle München are the initiators of the festival, which has already inspired many partners in the first phase of preparation. Many actors can identify with the keywords nature, culture, city and blossom, which describe the core idea of the festival.
