Oktoberfest 2026 runs 19 September to 4 October in Munich. These 15 licensed photos cover the tents on Theresienwiese, the parade, the Ferris wheel, Hofbräuhaus, and the city day trips people book around the festival. Credit sits under each photo.
1. O’zapft is — the tents open
Beer tents on Theresienwiese at the start of the season. This is the image search result for Oktoberfest itself.

2. Theresienwiese from the air
The Wiesn as a city of canvas. Aerial shots show how large the festival ground really is.

3. Bavaria statue and Ruhmeshalle
The bronze Bavaria looks over the meadow. Ludwig I’s hall of fame sits behind her — the landmark at the edge of the fair.

4. Opening parade through the tents
Brewery wagons and marching bands on the first Saturday. Crowds line the lanes between the big tents.

5. Horses and brewery carriages
Draft horses pull the barrels. The costume and wagon photos are what people save for the parade.

6. Tent roofs at dusk
Pointed roofs and flags after the daytime rush. This is the Wiesn as a skyline, not a street shot.

7. Inside the Hofbräuzelt
Long tables, brass, and a packed hall. Reservations for the big tents sell out months ahead.

8. Wiesenstrasse outside the Hofbräu tent
The lane between rides and the tent wall. Most first-time visitors photograph this walk, not only the beer hall.

9. Horse team at the Hofbräu tent
A brewery team posed in front of the tent. Classic Wiesn postcard, still used in 2026 travel roundups.

15. Neuschwanstein day trip
The castle most Oktoberfest visitors add if they have one extra day in Bavaria. Same search cluster as Munich flights.
