Reserve a table in the Paulaner beer tent (Winzer Fähndl) at the Oktoberfest 2025
Modernists can marvel at the high-tech beer tapping system if they make a reservation in the Paulaner Festzelt Winzerer Fähndl – the first beer tent at the Oktoberfest to have a central beer supply system!
The most eye-catching feature of the beer tent is undoubtedly the imposing tower outside topped with a huge, rotating Paulaner beer glass. But it goes without saying that guests can look forward to some good times inside if they opt for a reservation in the Paulaner Festzelt Winzerer Fähndl. It’s no coincidence that the beer tent is a favorite with regulars who come back year after year, as well as celebrities like the FC Bayern Munich soccer players. “Die Nockherberger” led by Konrad Aigner provide the musical accompaniment to Oktoberfest proceedings here, playing popular German schlager hits as well as all the classics. Party and good times are guaranteed well into the evening if you make a reservation in the Paulaner Winzerer Fähndl beer tent.

Theresienwiese Oktoberfest Munich
Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival and a symbol of Bavarian culture. Held annually in Munich, Germany, at the sprawling Theresienwiese grounds, this event attracts millions of visitors from all over the world. Oktoberfest traditionally begins in late September and lasts for 16–18 days, ending on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated in 1810 as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Bavaria, and over the years, it has grown into a global phenomenon.
The heart of Oktoberfest is its beer tents—large, elaborately decorated halls where breweries serve their finest lagers. There are more than 30 tents at the festival, each offering a unique experience. Some tents, like Hofbräu-Festzelt or Schottenhamel, are known for their lively music and party atmosphere, while others provide a more traditional Bavarian experience with folk music, dances, and local cuisine. Each tent can host thousands of guests, and visitors often reserve tables in advance to ensure a spot.
Food at Oktoberfest is just as important as beer. Visitors can enjoy traditional Bavarian dishes such as roast chicken, pork knuckles, sausages, pretzels, and a variety of desserts like apple strudel. The combination of hearty food and freshly brewed beer creates a festive atmosphere that encourages singing, dancing, and socializing.
Oktoberfest is not just about beer; it also features rides, games, and cultural events for families. Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and traditional carousel rides make the festival appealing to visitors of all ages. Parade events and performances showcase Bavarian traditions, from folk costumes to brass bands.
The festival is a celebration of community, tradition, and fun. Visitors often dress in traditional Bavarian attire, with men wearing lederhosen and women wearing dirndls. The event offers a unique opportunity to experience Bavarian culture in a joyful and lively setting.
Whether you are a beer enthusiast, a food lover, or simply seeking an unforgettable cultural experience, Oktoberfest in Munich promises a spectacular and immersive adventure.
