Market of Ideas
Handicrafts from all over the world and international dishes
Tollwood’s „Market of Ideas“ stands for organic culinary delights and artisan craftwork from all over the world. It belongs to Tollwood like the theater, concerts, art and environmental activities.
At lovingly designed stalls, visitors can discover fascinating crafts and try organic certified food from around the world. 50 food stalls offer organic food and drinks from over 20 nations, including many vegetarian and vegan treats. Visitors can buy international handicrafts and local goods with a clear conscience: goods that come from the so-called developing countries bear the “fair trade” seal.
Gastronomy
Tollwood’s offer of food stalls is as diverse as the festival itself. Since 2003, all 50 restaurateurs at the “Market of Ideas” offer 100 per cent organic food. Starting with Indian Thali, to homemade burgers and sweet Baumstriezeln: there is something for each taste and also a vast variety of vegetarian and vegan organic food.
