Unfortunately, the Oktoberfest cannot take place in 2020 due to the spread of Covid-19.
The parade of the landlords marks the official start of Oktoberfest. It takes place on the first Saturday of the Wiesn, before the famous “O'zapft is!”. The next one is at 10:45 am on Saturday, September 18, 2021. This is followed by the traditional costume and hunters’ parade at 10 am on Sunday, September 19, 2021.
The parade starts on Josephspitalstraße behind the Sendlinger Tor, proceeds onto Sonnenstraße and turns left onto Schwanthaler Straße. From there, it heads straight onwards to the Bavariaring, after which it continues onto Wirtsbudenstraße and into the respective festival tents. Punctually at 12 noon, the mayor opens Oktoberfest in the Schottenhamel festival hall with the traditional call, “O’zapft is”.
The parade can be seen from the roadside (note, do not arrive by car as there are no parking spaces). If you prefer to watch the spectacle seated, you can reserve seats in one of the stands erected along the parade route. You can find the stands with the best views of the parade of Wiesn landlords and breweries here:
