Oktoberfest 2026, the 191st Wiesn, runs September 19 to October 4, 2026, on Munich's Theresienwiese, opening with the ceremonial tapping of the first keg at noon on September 19. The world's largest folk festival drew around 6.5 million guests over 16 days in 2025 (down from 6.7 million in 2024), per organizer oktoberfest.de, across a run festival director Christian Scharpf called a "rollercoaster Wiesn." Stayvora helps you find and book the right Munich hotel, from a walkable Ludwigsvorstadt base near the grounds to a value stay on the transit line, most with free cancellation. Book early, as Munich hotels sell out and rates multiply during the festival.
