Oktoberfest 2017 Deutsch 1

Oktoberfest The Oktoberfest begins in September (September 16th) and ends in October (hence the name) on the first Sunday in October, or on October 3, whatever is later. It lasts for 16 days at least.

Thus, in "good" years the Fest will be extended to catch the 3rd October - the Day of German Unity, a bank holiday - on a Monday or Tuesday. This happened in 2016, and it will happen in 2017 again (hoorah!).

Oktoberfest Oktoberfest in Germany 2017 will begin at 4:00 AM on Saturday, September 16 and ends on Tuesday, October 3 All times are in Central Time. Our time!
