When Is Oktoberfest 2022?

How the Oktoberfest will start in 2022

The traditional Oktoberfest tapping is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 12 noon. After a three-year break, Mayor Dieter Reiter will then once again open the Oktoberfest 2022 with the traditional “O’zapft is! We can then hopefully look forward to the other traditional events surrounding the Oktoberfest: the procession of the Oktoberfest innkeepers onto the festival grounds, the large procession of traditional costumes and marksmen on the first Sunday of the Oktoberfest, the stand-up concert under the Bavaria, and the firecracker shooting.

Where is the Oktoberfest in Munich?

The Oktoberfest takes place every year on the largest fairground in Munich, the Theresienwiese. It is adorned, or rather overlooked, by the bronze, 18-metre-high Bavaria statue, on which steps you can perfectly enjoy a break from the hustle of the Oktoberfest. The fairground, where also the Spring Festival or the Winter Tollwood take place at other times of the year, is located quite centrally in Munich, slightly southwest of the city centre. For navigation or the online map, we recommend entering “Theresienwiese” or “Bavariaring”. However, it is better to take the public transport. The nearest underground stations are “Theresienwiese”, “Goetheplatz” and “Schwanthalerhöhe”; the S-Bahn station from which you can walk to Oktoberfest quickest is “Hackerbrücke”.
