Oktoberfest

The biggest folk festival
in the world

The most beautiful time in the cultural year of Munich: The biggest folk festival attracts guests from all over the world with beer, soft pretzels, good times and local traditions.

When the world comes together to share a beer table, when daily attire changes to dirndls and lederhosen and veritably every Munich native takes his/her traditional outfit out of the wardrobe, then you know the time has come: “O’zapft is!”

Every year in September, the world’s biggest folk festival kicks off.

“O’zapft is!”

(“The first barrel is tapped!”)

The beer tents range form big to enormous, the fall fair stands are a culinary home game, the constant sound of oompah-pah music and Oktoberfest songs fills the autumn air and for two glorious weeks Munich revolves around seeing and being seen.

All of this results in an unforgettable combination which makes Oktoberfest unique and puts it in the ranks of the international renown of the world’s biggest folk festivals from Rio to Venice.
