Where exactly is the stage?

By the maypole next to the beer garden, in the middle of the market, where the dancers have performed since 1987. It's about a 3-minute walk from Marienplatz.

Can we see the market women dance at other times?

Yes. They traditionally perform short parts of their program at the Fasching kick-off on November 11 and on Unsinniger Donnerstag, the Thursday before the big dance.

Costumes welcome, since it's the last day of Fasching and the program and party run into the evening

About

Once a year, the women who run the stalls at Munich's Viktualienmarkt trade their aprons for costumes and dance on a stage by the maypole. Each costume shows a stall, so kids can spot the baker, the butcher or the flower seller. The Narrhalla guards and the Fasching prince and princess warm up the crowd first. It's a big outdoor crowd, so smaller kids see best from a parent's shoulders.
