Anyone who wants to enjoy international flair combined with Munich Oktoberfest tradition should definitely make a reservation at the Hofbräu Festhalle. Because the counterpart to the Hofbräuhaus in Munich is also the Oktoberfest tourist attraction par excellence. The beer tent, which is decorated throughout with original hops - for which 12 hundredweight of hop vines are transported to Munich from the Holledau every year - brings together guests from all over the world. Here people sway, sing, celebrate and lift their steins . In the Hofbräu festival tent on the Theresienwiese, the unanimous cry of “Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit!” echoes from the mouths of guests from all nations. By reserving seats in the Steinberg family's Hofbräu festival tent at the Oktoberfest, you are choosing the second largest beer tent of its kind on Munich's Theresienwiese. There is also a separate standing area directly in front of the bandstand . Guests from all over the world can sway and celebrate on the tables, enjoying the music of the "Plattlinger Isarspatzen" or the festival band "Münchner Gschichten" while sampling the delicious Hofbräu beer.

Theresienwiese Oktoberfest Munich
Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival and a symbol of Bavarian culture. Held annually in Munich, Germany, at the sprawling Theresienwiese grounds, this event attracts millions of visitors from all over the world. Oktoberfest traditionally begins in late September and lasts for 16–18 days, ending on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated in 1810 as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Bavaria, and over the years, it has grown into a global phenomenon.
The heart of Oktoberfest is its beer tents—large, elaborately decorated halls where breweries serve their finest lagers. There are more than 30 tents at the festival, each offering a unique experience. Some tents, like Hofbräu-Festzelt or Schottenhamel, are known for their lively music and party atmosphere, while others provide a more traditional Bavarian experience with folk music, dances, and local cuisine. Each tent can host thousands of guests, and visitors often reserve tables in advance to ensure a spot.
Food at Oktoberfest is just as important as beer. Visitors can enjoy traditional Bavarian dishes such as roast chicken, pork knuckles, sausages, pretzels, and a variety of desserts like apple strudel. The combination of hearty food and freshly brewed beer creates a festive atmosphere that encourages singing, dancing, and socializing.
Oktoberfest is not just about beer; it also features rides, games, and cultural events for families. Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and traditional carousel rides make the festival appealing to visitors of all ages. Parade events and performances showcase Bavarian traditions, from folk costumes to brass bands.
The festival is a celebration of community, tradition, and fun. Visitors often dress in traditional Bavarian attire, with men wearing lederhosen and women wearing dirndls. The event offers a unique opportunity to experience Bavarian culture in a joyful and lively setting.
Whether you are a beer enthusiast, a food lover, or simply seeking an unforgettable cultural experience, Oktoberfest in Munich promises a spectacular and immersive adventure.
