When a city that produces world-renowned beers under the strictest purity laws puts on a 6 million-litre knees-up, there’s no self-respecting beer lover who’s going to turn them down. The festival is made up of a series of giant tents, fourteen main ones to be precise, which are run by different Munich breweries. Most of the breweries actually produce a special Oktoberfest beer, which is a bit darker and more potent than the rest they’ll have on offer. The tents have food, music and entertainment, which ranges from live bands in the trendy Hippodrom tent to the yodelling in the Bräurosl tent. It’s a chance to eat yourself silly, try some great beer and be a big kid in Europe’s largest temporary funfair.
The festival starts on the 22nd of September, when there’s a grand opening ceremony and parade.
