Summer in the City (extended)
A completely new concept brings some rides to the city.
After the cancelation of the Oktoberfest, many showmen saw their businesses in danger. Therefore, the city quickly put a concept together to allow them to set up their rides and stands spread all over the city. The name’s concept is “Sommer in der Stadt” (Summer in the City) and will take place between July 24 and October 4.
Initially, the event was planned to end on September 6. However, Munich seems to be such a favorable place that the city decided to just extend this year's summer until October 4.
Rides
Larger rides can be found at the locations: Rio Rapidos, Willenborg’s yellow Ferris wheel, and some smaller rides are located at Coubertinplatz, right in front of the Olympic Stadium.
South of the Olympic Park, where the Tollwood festival normally takes place, there are two rides that premiered at the last Oktoberfest, Heidi – the Coaster and Bayerntower, as well as Break Dancer, Freestyle, and the Weißbiergarten that you may know from the Frühlingsfest or Oktoberfest.
At Königsplatz, there's a new Ferris wheel, also owned by Willenborg, as well as Pirateninsel and some smaller rides.
From September 11 to October 25, another fairground will be added in the Weksviertel. There be several rides and booths, among them the wild mouse rollercoaster Wilde Maus and "Hangover The Tower" (sometimes, you'd like to listen to the discussions that lead to those ride names...), a free fall tower that is new to Munich but very similar to the well-known Skyfall.

Markets
Although the Auer Dults had to be canceled as well this year, some market booths can still be found at Mariahilfplatz. Additionally, there are some at Orleansplatz, Wittelsbacherplatz, and three at Weißenburger Platz.
While the market at the Wittelsbacherplatz will close on September 6, there will be a Kirchweihdult from October 17 to 25 as you're used to at the Mariahilfplatz. Only the number of booths will be reduced to a third to be able to space out.
