• What is typical of Oktoberfest?

 

  • Traditional dress: Large numbers of visitors wear Bavarian clothing such as dirndls and lederhosen.
  • Beer: Various Munich breweries serve a special Oktoberfest beer, enjoyed in one-litre mugs – the Maß.
  • Music: Traditional brass bands, old-school singalong pop hits and modern groups provide the soundtrack for the festivities.
  • Fairground rides: From the famous Ferris wheel and giant slide to historic rides such as the “Krinoline” carousel with its live brass band, Oktoberfest attractions offer entertainment for all ages.
  • Traditions: The parade of the “Wiesn” landlords, the keg tapping, the traditional costume and marksmen’s procession, and the open-air concert of Oktoberfest bands are all firmly established highlights.
  • The dirndl bow: The Oktoberfest has always been a place for flirting, and the position of a woman’s dirndl bow is said to indicate her relationship status – “Bow on the left, luck will be yours,” as the “Wiesn” saying goes. But beware: not every visitor is aware of this custom!
