What is the Tollwood festival??

The Tollwood festival in Munich is happening twice a year in summer and in winter. It offers free concerts, a lot of food and little stands wit jewelry, clothes and much more. The festival has a charming hipster vibe, as you walk through the little aisles you'll see little shops selling hipster and colourful fairly traded clothing and you will notice that every food stand is completely organic. 

History of the festival

The festival in 2003 decided it wants to be on the forefront of making Munich a greener city and required all food sold to be made exclusively with organic and mostly fairly traded ingredients. If you are now concerned about the prices, don't worry. They are barely more, and sometimes even the same price, as food on festivals with non-organic food. But the best thing about this festival is that you can go around, buy things and eat a lot of great food without having to feel a bit guilty since everything is sustainable, fairly traded and organic. 

Best thing we had there (Miss it so much)

One of the best things we had there was the "Jamaica" crepe which was filled with organic, fairly traded hazelnut-chocolate cream and organic, fairly traded bananas. It was simply the best crepe ever and we still felt like we were helping the planet while indulging in this delicious smooth chocolaty crepe. So if you want to visit a festival/ fair and have a great time while helping the planet look no further!
