Oktoberfest

Info

The ultimate event for fans of beer and group jollity, the Oktoberfest at the Theresienwiese draws visitors from around the globe. The event - known by the locals as the "Wies'n" after the meadow where it is held - is the biggest public festival in the world. You have to be there to believe it!

Each year, some six million visitors fill the Munich breweries' festival tents, downing roughly six million litres of beer and devouring 300,000 pork sausages, 600,000 roast chickens and 80 oxen. Try to find a tent which suits your style, as the individual tents' styles and audiences vary widely. The Anglo-Australian-American backpacker hordes and Japanese tour groups make a beeline for the Hofbräu tent, which tends to be the most raucous.
