snack of sausages at the Viktualienmarkt. Opening hours In earlier times, the Viktualienmarkt was open every day (including Sunday) from 7 A.M. until dusk. Only on religious holidays, the market remained closed. Since the Viktualienmarkt was the central place for the food supply of the citizens of Munich, and there were no refrigeration facilities yet, the daily opening was crucial. Today, Viktualienmarkt is open until 8:00 P.M. at the latest, Monday through Saturday, as part of the statutory opening hours, with exceptions for florists, bakers and restaurants. Many market stalls do not exhaust the legally permitted opening hours, but each have their own reduced opening hours. Events The market also hosts a number of traditional and folkloric events such as weighing celebrities, brewers' day, gardeners' day, opening of the asparagus season, summer festival, dance of the market women on Shrove Tuesday, etc. Hence, the Viktualienmarkt, which has been a pedestrian zone since November 6, 1975 is also a meeting point. Administration The Viktualienmarkt is organized by the Wholesale Market Munich. The Wholesale Market Munich, together with Viktualienmarkt, Elisabethmarkt, Pasing Viktualienmarkt, Wiener Markt and the Weekly Markets in Munich, are operated by Munich Markets, a municipal company run by the City of Munich.
