Oktoberfest starts in late September on a Saturday and goes on for 18 days approximately. It is vital to research the weather conditions of the venue (where ever you are attending Oktoberfest). The weather at Oktoberfest in Munich is pleasant but if you are attending Oktoberfest someplace where it is cold, go for a Bundhosen, as they offer more coverage below the knee – saving you from weather elements. Or, if your Oktoberfest venue is in a warmer climate or dates, choose a Midi-Dirndl and stay breezy while mingling. 

Fun Fact: Do you know the name of the oldest Oktoberfest tent? – It’s Schottenhamel.

The Oktoberfest Kick-off 

The Oktoberfest kicks off around noon inside Schottenhamel – the oldest Oktoberfest tent. Mayor of Munich taps the first keg and announces, O’zapft is – it’s tapped! A unique way to start the Oktoberfest. 

The next day at 10 AM, the costume and Riflemen’s parade begins, a 5 mile procession comprising more than 7000 people clad in Oktoberfest costume – marching bands, dancers, animals, and floats through the city center of Munich.

Oktoberfest Beer Tents

The Beer Tents at Oktoberfest have always been and still are free to enter. 14 tents, serving the best cuisine and beer and capable of seating thousands of visitors per tent. Truly these tents have their unique eco-system inside Oktoberfest. 

Almost all of the tents boast a selection of fantastic music and food, crammed to capacity with picnic tables. If your party is more than 6 people, do not forget to reserve your table in advance. Or you can visit one of the smaller tents that are also not so crowded.

Traditional Oktoberfest Food

The Oktoberfest is famous for its traditional delicious food, and you should indulge in it to pace your beer consumption. You should visit and try some of the local delicacies like the spit-roasted chicken Hendl. You can feast on yummy fish dishes in the Fischer Vroni tent.
