Old showman meeting 2022
Great joy at the reunion after a two-year break! On September 21, former showmen and women met in the Marstall festival tent for the traditional regulars' table. Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner listened to their memories.

The official Oktoberfest Information
The Oktoberfest is not only the most beautiful folk festival in the world, but also one of the strongest brands. In 2022, it got a new logo - and an official stand with information and souvenirs. Of course, it's right at the main entrance to the Wiesn, decorated in the new Oktoberfest design.
This is new at Oktoberfest 2022
Three new tents, a children's carousel with a view, the official Oktoberfest information booth at the main entrance and a collection of tapping mallets in the Schottenhamel festival hall - you can look forward to these and other innovations after three years of Wiesn break. Mayor Dieter Reiter and Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner presented the innovations on a tour - and tried them out for themselves.
It was a wonderful first day of Oktoberfest!
We had to wait 1077 long days until it was time to say: O'zapft is! But it was worth it: The opening weekend was a complete success. As early as nine o'clock on Saturday morning, the Wiesn fans streamed onto the Festwiese in good spirits, shortly followed by the Wiesn innkeepers with their magnificent carriages. OB Reiter tapped the keg with three strokes, the rides were well attended despite the changeable weather, and the sun came out again for the evening Wiesn stroll. Then on Sunday: the traditional traditional costume and marksmen parade through the city center to the Theresienwiese. Here are the highlights of the first weekend.
New logo for the Oktoberfest
The Munich Oktoberfest will be appearing with a consistent design in the future. We show you what the new logo looks like, the ideas behind the motif with the letter "O" and why a consistent branding for the Oktoberfest is so important.
Die Oide Wiesn 2022
The nostalgic "Oide Wiesn" with tents, historic rides and booths will be back at the Oktoberfest in 2022. The folk singer's tent Schützenlisl® is a new addition. What else is on offer from September 17 to October 3 on the festival grounds in the southern part of the Theresenwiese.
