Coopers' dance, traditionally accompanied by brass music

A special highlight of the carnival season is the Munich coopers' dance. This centuries-old tradition takes place only once every seven years. From January 6 until Shrove Tuesday, the dancers move through Munich accompanied by a brass band and delight audiences with their performances.
The coopers' dance is a traditional guild dance of the barrel makers and consists of several roles: dancers and lead dancers, barrel strikers, and hoop twirlers, who together present an impressive spectacle shaped by history.
