Here are our photos of the opening weekend.

A kick-off weekend that could hardly have been more beautiful lies behind us. Around one million Oktoberfest visitors are said to have taken advantage of the wonderful weather. Saturday was full, but not overcrowded. In some cases, admission to the tents was even possible in the afternoon. On Sunday, as usual, the many traditional costumers made for a particularly colorful picture. We also have more photos of the tapping and Trachten- und Schützenzug.

Last-minute reservations for Saturday were taken faster than ever before this year. Within seconds, including a server crash, the tables were gone.
