Oktoberfest tents

Fischer-Vroni marquee

The place to go for fish lovers of all kinds: the famous Steckerlfisch is even grilled over open fires here! With suckling pig, pork and veal shanks and the refreshing beer from the Augustiner brewery, lovers of Bavarian delicacies will also get their money’s worth. Musical entertainment is provided by Sepp Folger and his Munich musicians. Incidentally, the second Monday of Oktoberfest is Prosecco Wiesn – the second most popular Wiesn meeting place for homosexuals alongside Gay Sunday.

Crossbow tent

A very special spectacle takes place here every year: The German Crossbow Championships, which are held on the 30-meter-long shooting lanes in a tent extension. Since 1990, the marquee has been owned by the Inselkammer family, who – in addition to continuing the shooting tradition – are also socially involved at the Wiesn and host 200 Munich senior citizens every year during a free Oktoberfest visit.

Hacker marquee

It’s not for nothing that the Hacker-Festzelt run by the Roiderer landlords is so popular: if you enjoy a cool pint of beer from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery under the canopy with delicious Bavarian food and party to the music of the Oktoberfest band “Die Kirchdorfer” or the Munich party band Cagey Strings, you simply have to feel “heavenly”! A very special highlight: the revolving music podium in the middle of the tent!

• Brewery: Hacker Pschorr
• Hosts: Christl and Toni Roiderer

Augustiner festival tent

It’s not for nothing that the family-friendly tent of the Augustiner brewery has had many regulars among its visitors since 1898: The beer is still served here in proper style from 200-liter wooden barrels! Monday to Friday, the Augustiner festival tent treats its guests to lunch specialties at a lower price, while “the little ones” can expect fun and action on the two family Tuesdays. The Augustiner festival band brings the right atmosphere to the celebrating visitors.

Schottenhamel

An incomparable spectacle: this is where the reigning mayor of Munich taps the first barrel of beer of the Oktoberfest at 12 noon on the first Saturday of the Wiesn with the words “O’zapft is!”. The longest-serving Wiesn band, the “Schwarzfischer”, ensures the best atmosphere in the tent – and if you need to cool down from the exuberant celebrations in the Schottenhamel, you can enjoy the full Oktoberfest experience with a fresh Spaten Wiesn-Maß.

• Brewery: Spaten Franziskaner Bräu
• Hosts: Michael F. and Christian Schottenhamel

Pschorr Bräurosl festival hall

The highlight in the Pschorr-Bräurosl Festhalle: the tent’s own yodeler “Bräurosl”, who entertains guests with music alongside the Ludwig Thoma Musikanten and the Südtiroler Spitzbuam. Guests to the festival tent, which has been run by the Heide family since 1936, don’t just enjoy a cool beer from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery on weekdays: On the first Wiesn Sunday, thousands of men and women come together in the Festhalle to celebrate the famous Gay Sunday.

• Brewery: Hacker Pschorr
• Hosts: Heide family

Schützen marquee

Newly built in 2015, it is one of the oldest tents at the Oktoberfest but still houses a very special tradition: Oktoberfest shooting, which takes place at 110 shooting ranges every year! Even at lunchtime, the cozy festival tent attracts numerous visitors with delicacies at lower prices – Walter Bankhammer and Die Niederalmer provide great fun with musical entertainment. Incidentally, festival host Eduard Reinbold calls his Schützen festival tent a real “Munich tent” because of its Upper Bavarian audience !

• Seating: 5100 inside, 1400 outside
• Brewery: Löwenbräu
• Hosts: Eduard Reinbold

Paulaner festival tent (Winzerer Fähndl)

Since then, the Paulaner Festzelt’s distinguishing feature has been the large tower with the rotating Paulaner beer mug. It’s not for nothing that the marquee counts many regular guests as well as celebrities from FC Bayern Munich among its visitors every year: The Oktoberfest band “Die Nockherberger” ensures the best atmosphere – from midday with Bavarian brass band music and Oktoberfest classics, and in the evening with groovy Oktoberfest hits. Incidentally, the Paulaner festival tent is the most modern of its kind: thanks to the central beer supply through the 240-metre-long ring line, up to 15 litres per minute flow from the taps!

• Seats: 8450 inside, 2450 outside
• Brewery: Paulaner Brewery
• Hosts: Peter and Arabella Pongratz

Löwenbräu festival tent

Here the lion roars in the truest sense of the word: he is four and a half meters tall and lets his beastly sounds echo through the celebrating crowd several times a day. Festival host Ludwig Hagn impresses his guests (as the longest-serving Wiesn host!) with refreshing Löwenbräu Oktoberfest beer and delicious Bavarian delicacies. An impressive distinguishing feature of the cozy, hospitable tent: the 37-meter-high Löwenbräu tower!

• Brewery: Löwenbräu Oktoberfest beer
• Hosts: Ludwig Hagn and Stephanie Spendler

Käfer Wies’n Tavern

If you want to celebrate with Munich’s high society or even belong to it yourself, you can experience the motto of celebrity host Michael Käfer with all your senses at the Käfer Wiesn-Schänke: “Quality with passion” is written in capital letters here.

Kuffler’s wine tent

Those who prefer not to drink a cool pint of Oktoberfest beer will be spoiled with various fine wines in Kuffler’s wine tent.

Hochreiter’s Zur Bratwurst

The charming half-timbered house of Hochreiter’s Zur Bratwurst on the Wiesn is the ideal address for those who like it a little more intimate, but still hearty. In keeping with its name, the focus here is on Bavarian sausage culture. Visually, the tent impresses with its striking architecture, which is reminiscent of historic Nuremberg buildings and clearly sets it apart from the large festival halls. As one of the smaller buildings at the Oktoberfest, it offers a cozy, almost familiar atmosphere, which is complemented inside by rustic wooden decorations and outside by an inviting, covered beer garden.

• Seating: approx. 560 inside, approx. 240 outside
• Brewery: Augustiner-Bräu
• Hosts: Werner & Eva Hochreiter

Center aisle, side box and gallery: Tent areas in the large festival tents at the Oktoberfest

Found the perfect tent? Of course, you can also reserve tables in a specific tent area, which you can select when booking in the online store! In the fourteen large festival tents there is the central nave, the side boxes and the gallery.

Right in the middle of the action: Because dancing and swaying is expressly permitted on the benches in the central aisle, we recommend that guests in an exuberant party mood make reservations in this tent area. Quieter groups, on the other hand, will feel more at home in the side boxes or in the gallery – we also recommend these tent areas to business customers. Dancing on the tables is not permitted in any of the tent areas.
