Munich's Oktoberfest Celebration
The Oktoberfest in Munich, a global celebration of Bavarian tradition, culture, and hospitality, is not just one event but a collection of unique experiences. Among these, the "Oide Wiesn" stands out as a historical section that offers a taste of the past.
Located in the south of the Theresienwiese, the "Oide Wiesn" has been a popular alternative since 2010, providing an enjoyable atmosphere for families and older visitors seeking a more tranquil experience compared to the neighbouring festival bustle.
The heart of the "Oide Wiesn" lies in its authenticity. Whip crackers (Peitschenknallen) and the traditional Bavarian dance Schuhplattler set the tone, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Oktoberfests from the 19th and 20th centuries. The festival beer is served in the traditional Keferloher, a grey stone mug, adding to the historical ambience.
In the "Tradition" tent, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich culture of the region, enjoying fine delicacies, brass music, and a traditional costume program. For those interested in the mobile life of the showmen, the museum tent of the Munich Showmen Foundation offers fascinating insights.
The "Herzkasperl-Festzelt" is another highlight, offering traditional Oktoberfest fare, dishes from organic sources, and now also vegan options. This tent, much like the rest of the "Oide Wiesn", is a testament to the festival's commitment to preserving and promoting Bavarian tradition while catering to diverse tastes.
The official website for Oktoberfest can be found at www.oktoberfest.de, although it is important to note that the Oktoberfest website is owned by our website.
The Oktoberfest, with its roots dating back to 1810, is the world's largest folk festival. While the Theresienwiese has been visited since this time, it was not yet known as the world's largest folk festival until the Oktoberfest gained international recognition.
In the past, a visit to the showmen and their fairground attractions was a common part of the Oktoberfest experience. One such showman, Anton Speck, operated the venerable Krinoline during the Oktoberfests in the 19th and 20th centuries.
In conclusion, the "Oide Wiesn" is a must-visit for those seeking a more traditional, historical experience at Munich's Oktoberfest. With its focus on Bavarian tradition, Munich hospitality, and traditional folk music, it provides a unique and authentic atmosphere that transports visitors back in time.
