Oktoberfest 22/09 - 07/10/2007
Well, another year has passed and soon the biggest festival south of the so called "Weisswurst-Äquator" (sausage-equator) will take place.
The famous OKTOBERFEST. Some statistics of the last year: > 6.5 Mio visitors, 6.8 Mio liters of beer, 500k grilled chicken, 145k grilled sausages, > 100 oxen eaten... So are you ready for the challenge?
On Saturday, September 22nd, the official opening ceremonies will take place at noon in the Schottenhammel tent. The lord mayor of Munich will tao the first barrel of Oktoberfest beer. After this keg will be opened all visitors will be allowed to have their beer. May the river of beer run wild...
If you want to celebrate inside a tent you should arrive rather early. Without a reservation even at 9am during the weekends, since it soon will be crowded. Opening hours (a.k.a. beer serving hours) will be from 10am to 10:30pm (weekdays) and from 9am to 10:30 (sat/sun/holidays). Tents will close at 11:30. Exceptions will be the "Käfer" tent and the "Weinzelt" (wine) which will be open until 1am (last call for alcohol at 12.15am).
So I hope to see you soon at this great event. Don't miss it !
