Some event highlights
- "Send" fun fair:
"Send" takes place three times a year. The Münsterland region’s largest fun fair attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. 250 showmen present traditional and modern fair ride sensations on the Hindenburgplatz in front of Münster's Palace in Spring, Summer and Autumn. A firework display traditionally lights up the evening skies on "Send" Friday.
www.muenster.de/stadt/send - Christmas markets:
Visitors have the pick of five different Advent markets surrounded by the Old Town’s festive illuminations. Toy stalls and jewellery and arts-and-crafts stands are perfect for browsing, as you savour the scent of toasted almonds, mulled wine and punch.
www.muenster.de/stadt/maerkte/weihnachtsmarkt.html - Night of the Museums and Galleries:
During the "Schauraum" ("Showroom") festival, which concludes with the "Nacht der Museen und Galerien" ("Night of the Museums and Galleries"), the city centre showcases art, culture and savoir vivre over three days in August/September. Over 40 establishments remain open until midnight and no entry fees are charged. Special tours, readings and lectures make for an inspiring Night of the Museums. - Eurocityfest (Eurocity Festival):
Fun, culture and delicacies on the streets and squares of the Old Town – this is the "Eurocityfest" (Eurocity Festival), which is held every year at the end of May or at the beginning of June. Well-known performers and rising stars perform on several stages, while a special programme is always organised for children. For more information on Münster’s major open-air party, visit: http://www.eurocityfest.de/ - Shrove Monday procession:
Native "Münsterländer", or citizens from the Münsterland region, are by no means as stolid and impassive as the story goes. Their inner flamboyance comes to light at carnival time. The highlight of the crazy carnival season is the Shrove Monday procession, when the Old Town is firmly in the jesters’ hands. Members of 40 associations from Münster and the surrounding area parade through the city on foot and on magnificently decorated floats. Associations from the Netherlands also participate, bringing with them particularly colourful floats and groups.

www.muenster.de/kulturell_karneval.html - Münster marathon:
The motto of the annual Münster marathon is "Laufen aus Leidenschaft" ("Running for Passion"). Around 6,000 professionals and amateurs attempt the 42 kilometre long route, cheered on by enthusiastic spectators. Those who would prefer not to run the entire route can form a team with like-minded runners and enter the relay marathon.

The cycling elite meets in Münster every year on 3rd October in order to compete in the Münsterland-Giro cycle race, a 200 kilometre route through the region. The highlight is the home stretch against the magnificent backdrop of Münster’s Palace. Even ambitious amateur cyclists can get in the saddle. They have a choice of three open races, with distances between 60 and 130 kilometres.

The "Turnier der Sieger" ("Tournament of Champions") is one of the highlights of the equestrian calendar. The dressage and jumping elite meets every August in front of Münster’s Palace. The exclusive jumping series, the Riders Tour, also stops in Münster in August. www.turnierdersieger.de/
