The yearly Märlifest at RSSM in Münchenstein takes place October 18 – 19, 2025.
A School Transformed by Theater and Imagination
During Märlifest weekend, our school blossoms into a vibrant world of theater, storytelling, and play. The campus comes alive with unique performances, colorful booths, and plenty of hands-on craft activities for all ages.
While many of the performances and stories are designed for children aged 4 to 6, the magic of a well-told tale knows no age limit, captivating both the young and the young at heart.
Märlifest is more than a theatrical celebration. It’s a joyful gathering of our school community.
“Families, friends, and visitors come together to share in the creativity and connection that define our school’s spirit.”
A Local Event with Global Heart
Although the event is held in German, it offers a wonderful opportunity for international families to engage with the local community and explore our school.
At Rudolf Steiner Schule Münchenstein, we welcome many children from non-German-speaking backgrounds and integrate them immediately into our regular classes. This inclusive approach has proven to be both enriching and successful, fostering a diverse and supportive learning environment.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our event and sharing this special tradition with you.
