Oktoberfest’s Rosa Wiesn to Add Official “RoslMontag” in 2026

The move aims to ease overcrowding driven by global demand for Bräurosl’s queer day.

Overview

  • Bräurosl host Franziska Kohlpaintner announced the addition in an Instagram interview with content creator Alessandro Capasso.
  • Organisers plan the extra Monday to spread attendance after thousands travel for the event, including visitors from the USA and Australia.
  • The flagship GaySunday has run for over 40 years and began with a reservation by the Münchner Löwen Club.
  • An informal day-after gathering already occurs in the Bräurosl beer garden and rear tent areas on the Monday following GaySunday.
  • During the 2025 Wiesn (20 Sept–5 Oct), queer events include Subavaria at Kuffler’s Weinzelt (24 Sept), ProudWiesn at Armbrustschützenzelt (28 Sept), Prosecco‑Wiesn at Fischer‑Vroni (29 Sept) and Schwuler Ausklang at Schottenhamel (5 Oct).
