So, where can you find yourself a fun bonfire to attend in the Munich region? Here is a full list courtesy ofΒ Muenchen.de.Β Be sure to check on that official site for updates, as the weather is looking pretty iffy this weekend.

NOTE: Bonfires are (duh) weather-dependent, so be mindful of the fact that certain events might get cancelled! Again, keep an eye on this page fromΒ Muenchen.de for updates and on the local pages of the events you want to attend,.
