Munich celebrates: Traditional Naadam Festival of Friends of Mongolia!

in Bogenhausen, where tradition is on community, the association "Friends of Mongolia" is committed to a good cause. On June 2, 2025, a remarkable announcement was made: the traditional National Festival of Mongolia, Naadam, is just around the corner. From July 10th to 13th, Munich can look forward to exciting competitions such as horse racing, archery and wrestling. The motto of the association, "Munich combines", expresses the endeavor to beat bridges between cultures.

The association was founded in 1996 and specializes from the start to support development aid projects in Mongolia. The initiatives are particularly well received in the field of education and in children's aid. The projects include the book bridge that collects Mongolian literature to support educational centers. The Mongolian Youth Development Services Center is also part of the versatile work, which has also comprised leisure clubs and development programs for disadvantaged children and adolescents since 2009.
