Germany Oktoberfest 2026 security plan
The Oktoberfest in Munich, the world's largest folk festival, begins on Saturday, September 19, 2026, and runs until October 4, with the official beer barrel opening by the mayor. The festival takes place on an area of nearly 34.5 hectares and welcoming approximately 6.5 million visitors, a large proportion of whom are from Bavaria and abroad, especially from the United States and Italy. The city has implemented stringent security measures, including smart cameras, AI technology to monitor crowd density, and hundreds of police officers to ensure safety, following last year's incidents of overcrowding and fear. The festival focuses on offering beer at prices ranging from €14.80 to €15.90 per liter, along with entertainment activities and traditional Bavarian costumes. The festival trade reflects traditional German culture, emphasizing cautious alcohol consumption, a strict ban on cannabis, and ongoing cash payments in many venues.
