It won't be pleasing for some German enthusiasts....but here's my suggestion.
Go take Christmas, New Year's Eve, Rosenmontag, Easter, Oktoberfest, the various wine fests, public celebrations.....then cram them all into June, July and August.
Yes, re-date all of them.
Have Junefest in Munich, in early June, with plenty of beer-drinking.
Arrange for Christmas to be around the 1st of July. I admit....drinking hot gluhwein probably isn't a plus-up, but I could drink cold gluhwein instead.
Run New Year's eve four weeks after Christmas....around the very end of July. Approve the fireworks and celebrating.
Then have the wine fests and Fasching business (parades, etc) in August.
Get it all done in a low-Covid period.
Yes, just accept the fact that Covid will never go away, and it's better to have cultural events in a non-threatening period.
I know some of you Germans will say these are all written into stone, to which I'd say 'no'......you can write a simple script and allow regular traditions to morph/change.
Crazy? Well....who knew that some silly bat disease would get out of some lab in Wuhan and destroy civilization?
