Munich (dpa/lby) - With a parade to the Olympic Park, the city of Munich wants to commemorate the arrival of the athletes at the Summer Olympics 50 years ago. It starts at 10.30 a.m. in the Kunstareal, not far from the Pinakothek der Moderne. From there the procession is to move to the Olympic Park. Clubs, groups, school classes, musicians and many others take part.
A colorful giant dachshund created by twelve-year-old Noah as part of a competition at the Dachshund Museum in Passau should be a real eye-catcher. Many real dachshunds are also expected to commemorate the mascot of the games, the dachshund Waldi. Afterwards, the city of Munich invites you to a festival at the Olympiasee with a stage program with free admission.
