Yes, you read that right \u2013 the event actually starts in September to take advantage of a few more weeks of warmer weather. The enormous folk festival is free to enter and is held in Theresienwiese meadow near Munich\u2019s centre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The venue is so synonymous with the festival itself that you\u2019ll hear locals refer to Oktoberfest as \u2018Wiesn\u2019, a nickname for the fairground in which it takes place. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s festival will be the 185<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and, as always, will start with the symbolic tapping of the first barrel by Munich\u2019s mayor.

There are 14 major tents, plus 20 smaller tents, and they all have their own claims to fame. There\u2019s no cost to enter a beer tent, but you\u2019ll find plenty of tasty food and drink to buy once you\u2019re in there!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Each tent is managed individually, and has its own speciality: a particular tent might be known for its excellent potato salad, or be particularly popular with backpackers. \u00a0Breweries and corporate sponsors take pride in making their tents unique, but they all share welcoming atmospheres, tables full of drinkers, traditional entertainment and hearty food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During busy times, there can be a wait for seating in the larger tents, so once you\u2019ve found a spot, you might want to settle in! If you\u2019ve got your heart set on a certain tent, you may be able to reserve a table there ahead of time, but be aware that each tent has its own policies and procedures, waiting lists can be long and many tables can\u2019t be reserved at all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend visiting on weekdays or earlier in the afternoon when the festival isn\u2019t quite as crowded. With so many tents, you\u2019ll be sure to find a great spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/beer-lovers-guide-to-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Beer Lover\u2019s Guide to Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Beer Tent Highlights<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schottenhamel<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oldest and largest tent at Oktoberfest.

Each tent has its own beer on tap, and only the very best brews make it to Oktoberfest \u2013 they have to meet strict purity requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Ma\u00df will cost you around \u20ac10, and a tip is appreciated. The beers here are strong, with an alcohol content of around 6%. Try ordering a Radler (a beer and lemonade shandy) when you need to pace yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be Oktoberfest without the food. Order a half chicken or classic pork knuckle to have at your table, try your tent\u2019s speciality or grab something from the huge range of food vendors outside. You can\u2019t go wrong with a delicious, salty pretzel or a filling wurst.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/oktoberfest-german-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Oktoberfest Diet: The German Foods You NEED to Try<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your belly full of beer and Bavarian grub, you\u2019ll want some entertainment!
