Festival ground hours

The official Oktoberfest 2027 opening-hours page lists the festival ground schedule. Monday to Thursday the site is scheduled from 10:00 to 23:30, Friday from 10:00 to midnight, Saturday from 09:00 to midnight, and Sunday from 09:00 to 23:30. Check for amendments before travel.

Tent hours are different

Festival opening hours and beer tent service times are not interchangeable. Each tent has operational limits, and last orders, music and service may end before the grounds close. The opening Saturday has special arrangements.

Practical planning

Check how late your return transport runs, allow time for crowded exits and never depend on entering an already full tent. Use official schedules for important travel decisions.
