Today is the Stadtgründungsfest, which translates as "City Foundation Festival." There's a main stage at Marienplatz, but we spent more time at a side stage that hosted an "Irish/Bayrisch" festival with some Irish folk music (Patrick Walker trio) and dancing (Emerald Dancers) as well as some Bavarian folk music/cabaret (Vogelmayer) and American folk/blues/R&B by a duo called Solly.

We had one kind of surreal moment. While Solly was playing, there were two loud explosions interspersed with what sounded like gunfire from the direction of Marienplatz, and my immediate reaction was, "oh no." But very few people reacted and nobody came running in away in our direction. I'm still not sure what it was, but I'm guessing mid-day fireworks or something? Really weird.
In any case, it was another beautiful, laid-back day. We walked around a lot and had a delicious dinner - again, way too much food at a very reasonable price. Then back to the room to pack: we want to be out around 9:00AM to get to our flight.
