Any tips for a first timer at Oktoberfest? I already have tables reserved and am looking at purchasing a lederhosen this week.

Anger Maier is great for lederhosen. Besides drinking in tents, check out the city of Munich. Do a free walking tour (tip the guide) through Sandemans New Europe. Consider day trips to Dachau Concentration Camp or Hitler's Eagles Nest if you're into WW2 history. Hit up the English Garden/Chinese Tower beer garden and stop to checkout the river surfing. Grab a beer in the Hofbrauhaus beer garden.

I've been twice; one week it was in the 40's in the morning, second time it was mid/high 70's during the day. The tents tend to warm up throughout the day once you get a couple thousand crammed in there. You can definitely drink yourself warm 😄

No need for reserving a table; just go from pavillion to pavilion with plenty of cash

Thanks D1, that’s where I was looking.

Thanks A1 - I was wondering about the weather as well. I expect it can warm up during the day but expect it be chilly at night/morning. Maybe the beer will help 😂

Have plenty of Euros on you. Drink tons of beer. Have the time of your life! Definitely one of my favorite events of the year.

Definitely get the lederhosen. I didn’t buy a table and it was still great. Be prepared for it to be a bit cool/cold. I wore long sleeves under mine

Stay as close to the location as possible.
Go to the gay tent. It’s the best dancing and atmosphere.

I found my lederhosen online for $60 shipped straight from Germany. Better than the ones my brother paid $200 for in Munich

Thanks A1 - Good shouts, ive been to Munich before but haven’t checked out all the spots you recommend, I did dachau and neuschweinstein

D1 - what site?

The fest is 2 weeks long, one week is usually warm the other week cool/cold. Prepare for both.

I’m going to!

When are you going pwc1?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
