    2. The 191st Oktoberfest takes place in Munich, Germany, from September 19 to October 4, 2026. Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival, a unique work of art in its own right, and a piece of Munich’s soul. It is a tradition that customs and the Bavarian way of life find a vibrant renewal right here. Oktoberfest embodies the sense of home and the hospitality of the people of Munich—a folk festival for everyone, offering a wide variety of delightful experiences for all the senses at the highest level of quality. The core of the Oktoberfest brand embodies connection, shared experiences, and a zest for life.
