Thanks for the listing of tents. I guess having a fixed table is the golden rule when you celebrate with a group of people, otherwise you just get lost! I speak from experience. 😉

I’ll be going again this year. This will be my eighth time. Getting plastered is a waste of time and money. One or two beers and that is it. Don’t forget that it is a lot stronger than the yellow water you get here in the states. Have a beer, then walk the grounds and sample the foods. You have a wide variety. You won’t be able to sample it all. And yes, one day is enough but for those hard core dudes and duchesses, two max. Why ruin it?

Being a non drinker, 1/2 day would suffice buddy. But definitely worth the experience. Plus my mom grew up in the Black Forest so it’d be a homecoming of sorts.

There’s also the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) in April/May. Same thing as Octoberfest, slightly smaller and way fewer tourists. Probably cheaper to travel and stay without the ‘Octoberfest season’ price premium.

Oktoberfest was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had!
I would definitely recommend it! Even for those who don’t like beer! Alone the atmosphere is amazing and there are many other things you can do there, besides drinking beer all day 😀

Hey Matt,

Did you go at the beginning, middle, or end of the fest? Just curious if you had any suggestions as when the best time to go is?

best,
Allie

Let me start by saying that Oktoberfest is one of the most amazing experiences I have every been to. The only way I can relate to it is by calling it Disneyland for adults (even though Disneyland is awesome as an adult too). I was in Munich this past September for 12 days and loved Oktoberfest so much that I went 2.5 days. It had been a long time dream of mine to go to Munich for the history. Doing during Oktoberfest was just an added plus.

The beer and the food are better than some restaurants here. I can’t wait to go back.

Haha,
well I went last year but I am a Celiac so it was kind of weird going to a beer festival and not drinking beer. Drank Wine and Cider but not quite the same unfortunately….
Still an awesome atmosphere and I would absolutely go again.

In reply to NomadicMatt. Where did you buy your lederhosen? Any suggestions?

We’re planning to go in 2016. Which tents would be good for age 40+? Tents with a mix of ages would be the best. We were thinking 3 days in Munich, with the middle day as a rest and sighteeing lol.
