Celebrities Celebrate Munich
Oktoberfest 2025: Many celebrities celebrated at the Wiesn during the first week – we'll name a few... (there is only one original)
190th Munich Oktoberfest – until October 5, 2025 – Live-Cam BAVARIA – 12 hours of live views of the Theresienwiese in Munich
Munich. Who has been to the Wiesn so far? They came in smart lederhosen and dirndls! They got styled at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, and then they headed off to the Wiesn festival. For example, to the annual society event "Ladies Red Wiesn" at the Munich Oktoberfest – on Wednesday – where all the invited ladies celebrated in red dirndls. "Red for a good cause" was the motto of the 6th Ladies Red Wiesn. Heart and elegance met in the "Wildstuben" (Wildstuben). But many celebrities could be seen everywhere. They enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience and even performed with the bands, including "Terminator" and avowed Oktoberfest fan Arnold Schwarzenegger (now 78 years old), who also conducted. New Munich resident Jürgen Drews was spotted with his wife and daughter. Drews, who lived in Taufkirchen for 25 years, then moved to Mallorca, and finally found his way back home, is now a Munich resident again. You simply belong at the Oktoberfest! ... and on the second Sunday of the Oktoberfest, sculptor and painter Markus Lüpertz (84) was even seen in the Schützenzelt (shooters' tent) - (the artist knows: there can only ever be one original) -, ... and Wayne Carpendale and Matze Knop were also seen at the Oktoberfest in Munich. The "who's who" of politics, business, culture, and the media opened the Oktoberfest in Munich over a week ago, and the party has been going on ever since!

So many celebrity faces were spotted in the first week that we can only list them:
Heidi Klum made headlines right from the start with her "Heidi Fest" at the Hofbräuhaus, where she invited many well-known faces, including Thomas Hayo and Tom Kaulitz.

We also fondly remember the last Oktoberfest 2024 with La Toya Jackson
Anyone in Munich during Oktoberfest simply has to go to the Oktoberfest!
Last year, US singer La Toya Jackson also made a surprise appearance at the Theresienwiese. Dressed in a red wild silk dirndl and matching hat, the 68-year-old sister of superstar Michael Jackson looked like a Munich native at the Red Ladies Oktoberfest. (Here's our link to the Michael Jackson memorial in Munich. The KING OF POP wasn't often in Munich, but when he stopped by for a concert, he stayed at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on Promenadeplatz, the first hotel in town.) - (ENGLISH, DEUTSCH, ITALIANO, FRANÇAIS)
