The Munich Beer Festival, also known as Oktoberfest, or Wies’n by the locals, is a public beer festival held once a year in Munich, Germany. The festival lasts for 16 days and runs from the middle of September to the first Sunday in October. Every year around 6 million people attend, consuming 4 million litres of beer, half a million roast chickens and 200,000 pairs of pork sausages, making the Oktoberfest one of the biggest parties in the world!
A large park in the centre of town is transformed into a massive party ground, with 14 beer halls each seating over 4000 people. In each beer hall the crowds drink one litre steins of local Bavarian beer, and often wear traditional Bavarian dress and stand on tables singing along to Oompah bands. Alongside the beer halls is a large funfair with all kinds of rides, and plenty of stalls selling local food and German Schnapps.
During our six day tour we visit the Oktoberfest over the opening weekend and watch the opening ceremony on 18 September. You also get the chance to travel independently to witness the 100 club. We also have an optional (included) day trip to visit Dachau concentration camp (the first concentration camp built by Hitler in 1933) and Andechs Monastery.
During our tour we will stay in tents at the legendary Thalkirchen Campsite, which is only one and a half miles away from the beer festival. We will supply regular shuttles to the beer festival from our campsite, and it’s only a few stops away using the local tube service.
