About

Grab your dirndl or lederhosen and put on your dancing shoes, because it’s time to kick off the Fall season with one of the world’s oldest drinks and Bavaria’s greatest tradition — Oktoberfest!

“Why is it in September if it’s called Oktoberfest?” Great question! Although the event started with a celebration of King Ludwig’s wedding in October 1810, local wars, epidemics, recessions, weather, and other influences have pushed it around the calendar over its 200+ year history. Oktoberfest also absorbed some of the late-Summer/early-Fall agricultural celebrations around the harvest season, and the modern event in Munich is now scheduled almost entirely in September, ending the first weekend of October.

Explore hidden corners, sip seasonal brews, and raise a toast with local Oompah band ÜberCool in one of the most unique venues in the city!
