Oktoberfest began in 1810 to honour the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese. Over time, it turned into a famous Bavarian folk celebration, brimming with tradition, unity, and festivity.
In 2025, it’s set to run from 20 September to 5 October, marking the 190th instalment of Munich’s beloved celebration. Its enduring popularity shines through in the millions of visitors who flock there each year.
Expect lively beer tents, traditional music, and thrilling fairground rides. Locals and travellers alike come together to feast on hearty Bavarian dishes, clink giant steins of beer, and immerse themselves in customs that have stood the test of time.
