Where does the Oktoberfest take place?
The world’s largest folk festival takes place annually at the Theresienwiese (Therese’s Meadow) here in Munich. It always begins on the 2nd to last Saturday in September and ends 16 days later on the first Sunday in October. To get there take the U4/U5 to Theresienwiese or U3/U6 to Goetheplatz. The 1st Oktoberfest was actually the wedding celebration of Prince Ludwig I (grandfather of Ludwig II, the fairytale king) and Therese, hence the name of the grounds, the Theresienwiese.
