When is the best day to go to Oktoberfest? This barometer will tell you all you need to know.
GOOD TIME TO GO?: Don't get stuck outside the beer tent when it's cold outside - check the Oktoberfest barometer!
The tents fill up pretty much every evening though, so you’re guaranteed an electric atmosphere whenever you're there. To find out about special events, opening and closing times for the festival, see the story on Oktoberfest 2019 dates here. Dates given here are for the 2019 Munich Oktoberfest. Green means it's not too busy, yellow it's bustling and red it's rammed to the gills. Tip: If you're using a smartphone, you may need to turn it side-on to see the whole table.
