Oktoberfest Organisers Publish Final Program, Hours and Site Map

Organisers say the package will guide millions of visitors by clarifying schedules, tent lists and booking rules to reduce the secondary reservation market.

Overview

Organisers published the final public information package on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, confirming the 191st Oktoberfest runs from 19 September to 4 October and supplying day‑by‑day opening hours and a venue map.
The official opening tap or Anstich is set for 12:00 at the Schottenhamel tent on the first Saturday, when Munich’s mayor will tap the first keg and beer service will begin.
A full program list names headline events such as the Einzug der Wiesnwirte and breweries, the Trachten‑ und Schützenzug, the Platzkonzert and the closing Böllerschießen so visitors can plan around peak ceremonies.
Organisers released the complete roster of rides, roughly 190 market stands and detailed lists of large, small and specialty tents, and they confirmed Oide Wiesn pricing at €1.50 per ride and €4 entry for people aged 15 and over.
Table bookings will run through the official portal oktoberfest-booking.com, which 21 medium and large operators use to sell and securely resell reservations at face value to curb black‑market trading.
