Oktoberfest 2023

Live Stream, Webcams, Events, Dates

This year will be the 188th Oktoberfest, which is the iconic beer festival known and copied the world over! With the original and biggest continuing to take place each year in the one and only Munich, Bavaria, widely acknowledged as the home of beer, it is also mimicked in cities as diverse as Los Angeles, Dublin, Sydney and London.

Actually starting in September, despite the name, the festival typically lasts for around 2 weeks and draws enormous crowds to the famous Theresienwiese beer tents and fairgrounds to consume vast quantities of a bewildering array of beers, typically accompanied by traditional local foods, for the most part sausage-based.

Attendance at the festival is measured in the millions, with in excess of 6 million visitors recorded in recent years, making the Munich Oktoberfest without a doubt the King of Beer Festivals!
