 190th Munich Oktoberfest - September 20th to October 5th, 2019


Oktoberfest countdown: Only 1 day and 20 hours left until the beer is tapped! Come on, everyone, then we'll be more!!! The first Oktoberfest weekend is just around the corner, and the atmosphere is shining brightly


Munich's Oktoberfest meadow today! A fantastic atmosphere in Munich, and less than 2 days until the world's largest Oktoberfest begins (English, Deutsch)


Munich. The Bavarian capital is in pure Oktoberfest anticipation. Many guests have already arrived and are dressing up in dirndls and lederhosen, visiting Munich's sights, from the English Garden to the Residenz palace and the Hellabrunn Zoo on the Isar River. People are already enjoying the weather today, sitting in the beer garden at the Viktualienmarkt or at the Chinese Tower in the English Garden. The sun is shining, and the people setting up the Oktoberfest on the vast Theresienwiese are doing their best. Here and there you can hear the Oktoberfest bands rehearsing in the tents, the rides are running trials, and the small Augustiner pub at the Theresienwiese subway station is already well attended.

 The world will be gathering at Theresienwiese from Saturday, September 20th to October 5th, and we'll be there!

Life at the Wiesn is bustling. Bike racks, ATMs, left luggage storage, and no-parking signs are signaling the high time, as the parking ban in the security zone surrounding the Wiesn will soon begin. The day after tomorrow at 12 noon is the day when the world-famous Munich Oktoberfest begins. Entrances open at 9 a.m., and you should leave everything except your wallet and cell phone behind – large bags, backpacks, and the like are not permitted.
