The question we most often hear from prospective clients is: "When is Oktoberfest?" Loosely translated, "the October Festival" actually begins in September. More info is available on our website: www.oktoberfest-germany.com.

Oktoberfest begins on the 3rd Saturday of every September and ends on the 1st Sunday of October. It’s called Oktoberfest because the first festival was held on October 10, 1810, to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese Saxe-Hildburghausen. Organizers changed the annual festival to September because the weather is warmer. Here are dates for the next 5 Oktoberfests (more info is available on our website - www.oktoberfest-germany.com):

2011: September 17 – October 2
2012: September 22 – October 7
2013: September 21 – October 6

2014: September 20 – October 5

2015: September 19 – October 4
