The breweries’ decorated horse-drawn carts are an amazing sight to behold as they move the beer barrels to the festival ground.

As they arrive at the beer tents, each beer tent band will perform a concert at the entrance.

- Festhalle Bavaria – serving Bavarian specialties together with fresh-tapped beer, this tent promises lots of German “Gemuetlichkeit” and great music.
- Hippodrom – a smaller version of the famous Oktoberfest beer tent of the same name, the atmosphere and hospitality are no less than what you’d experience in October.
- Munich Beer Garden – the perfect place to enjoy warm spring days and the longer light in the evenings.

Bavaria food is hearty and delicious and you’ll find all your favorites on offer: Bratwurst, knuckle of port, rolled porked roast, plus much more.
Sweet tooths are well catered for with traditional offerings such as gingerbread, roasted almonds, and toffee apples to name just a few.
And then of course there is the beer: Paulaner wheat beer, Augustiner Beer, and Spaten Fruehlingsfest Hell.
Prost!
