All information about the Wirtshaus Wiesn in Munich
2023-08-19
The first Munich WirtshausWiesn starts on Saturday September 19th, 2020. The campaign was started on the initiative of the large Oktoberfest innkeepers and the city center innkeepers in order to create a balance to this year's Oktoberfest. Even though it is the first edition of this event and is only taking place in this way due to the current situation, the first Oktoberfest in 1810 was actually of a similar nature. There was a horse race on the Theresienwiese and people drank at the surrounding inns. This tradition will now be brought into 2020.

When does the Wirtshaus Wiesn take place in Munich?
The alternative Oktoberfest, the WirtshausWiesn, takes place from Saturday September 19th, 2020 to Sunday October 4th. 2020. The opening times correspond to the normal times of the participating restaurants. However, it is questionable whether the campaign can run for the entire time. The city of Munich exceeded the critical limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants one day before the start of the WirtshausWiesn. However, it is still unclear whether there will be an impact on the Wirtshaus Wiesn.
