For now, the Theresienwiese is still a huge building site, but in just a few months millions of people will once again be celebrating here together. In Munich, work to set up Oktoberfest 2026 officially began on Monday. Between now and the opening on 19 September, beer tents, rides, stalls and beer gardens will be built on the grounds of the world’s largest folk festival.
Erecting the site is a major logistical undertaking every year. Crews work on the Theresienwiese for around three months before the first visitors are allowed onto the festival grounds.
