The Bavarian Premier will decide with the Mayor of Munich in 2 weeks.

To me, there's really no decision to be made
I agree.

Germany has done a good job on testing and tracing. Having a big 16 day event with people from all over the world would negate that.

I’m hoping to make a trip to Germany for kristkindlemarkt visits in December and I’m not holding my breath for that happening.

Make sure the traditional market at the Turn und Taxis Schloss in Regensburg is on your itinerary. That one is special.
