Overview
- The 2026 season opened on Epiphany at Marienplatz, reviving the centuries-old dance for a large crowd in central Munich.
- Performances are scheduled across the city daily through February 17, with public listings posted by organizers and the municipality.
- Organizers estimate roughly 450 appearances up to Shrove Tuesday, with dancers often taking leave to perform multiple times per day.
- The core ensemble includes about 25 performers, nearly 40 with substitutes, among them several practicing coopers from a Munich barrel maker.
- A morning show by the Ismaning group was canceled due to a medical emergency before they performed later at the town assembly, and the Munich troupe is set to give a guest performance in Peißenberg on January 7.
