Munich. The Munich Oktoberfest starts in about a quarter of an hour. The Oktoberfest hosts are currently on their way to Theresienwiese with their brewery teams. The parade started at 10:45 a.m. with the Oktobefest beer on Josephspitalstrasse. There are onlookers waiting everywhere and the run to the best campsites started on the Theresienwiese, where admission opened at 9 a.m. - Non-alcoholic drinks (except beer) are served from 10 a.m. and at 12 p.m. sharp the motto is “Ozapft is!” and the golden barley juice flows in all the tents and beer gardens! - Prime Minister Markus Söder with his wife Karin Baumüller-Söder, the Mayor of Munich Dieter Reiter and his wife Petra Reiter and the Munich economic officer Clemens Baumgärtner will be present at the traditional tapping. When Mayor Dieter Reiter has tapped the first barrel, he announces the opening of the Oktoberfest and presents the first beer to the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder.
