For a few days flags have been waving at the Munich main station, the Stachus circle and at Marienplatz with the message: The EuroGames are coming to town. The newspapers are full of articles, and Munich is full of volunteers in their bright orange t-shirts.

The Rainbow Village (design: architect Nicolai Baehr), at the heart of the Olympic Park, is ready to welcome you! It is the meeting point, the promenade and the street festival of the games. On Coubertin square, where yesterday you still could see scaffolding; today the Rainbow Village welcomes all of Europe. It has all been erected in two days by 15 volunteers of the Rainbow Village team; the result is remarkable! Go to the red and orange Info-Point to get any help or support about the games and the city!. In the Rainbow Village athletes, visitors, and journalists receive their official passes and their welcome package. You can also find the results of each event and enjoy food and drink in one of the little beer gardens. In addition to that, a stage has been set up for a variety of cultural events.
