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.
