We have never closed down the Wiesn
Should any visit consider a schedule that includes being there for the final evening? The closing of the tents goes something like this...
The fun times on the Theresienwiese, which attract over 6 million visitors every year, lasts until October 4, 2020 - at 10:30 p.m. there's the last beer call, and at 11:30 p.m. they shout: "Aus is und gar is und schad ist, dass' wahr is!" (“it’s over and completely done and it’s a shame that it’s true!”). On the last evening thousands of sparklers light up the tents and some visitors even have tears in their eyes.

Welcome to our newest blog member...
'sittinginacornfield' (aka Doug) has joined our team as a possible future Oktoberfestian.
He is an off-shoot of Flying Dan's Illinois connection, and could be trouble.
Welcome and Prost !
