Oktoberfest lands in Wokingham with the season. Early on the beer halls run on Bavarian bands and giant steins, later it's dancing, though the lederhosen were never required of anyone. The long tables carry the rest, bratwurst and pretzels arriving steadily, the German beer doing the remainder of the work. Or is a quiet beer with friends the plan? Browse Oktoberfest 2026 events and parties across Wokingham, check the dates, and book your tickets before they're taken.

What Munich pours
What North America calls Oktoberfest
Only these six Munich breweries may pour at the Wiesn. Their festival beers are the real thing.

A Maß is more than two US pints of 6% lager. Eat something with it. In Munich in 2026 one costs about €15.61.

Since 1810
Long before Wokingham had an Oktoberfest, Munich threw one for a royal wedding. Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese on 12 October 1810, and some 40,000 people turned out for the horse race that closed the celebrations. It went so well the city did it again, and eventually moved it forward into September, when Bavarian evenings are still warm enough to sit outside.
Munich's 2026 Wiesn ran from September 19 to October 4.

Munich's 2026 Oktoberfest ran from September 19 to October 4, 2026, 16 days on the Theresienwiese.
A Bavarian folk festival that began in Munich as a royal wedding party: Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese on 12 October 1810, and the celebrations ended with a horse race on 17 October. Munich later moved the start forward into September, when the weather is warmer, and the festival usually ends on the first Sunday in October.
Traditional dress, a Dirndl or Lederhosen, is welcome but never required, and ordinary clothes are completely normal. In Bavaria, Tracht is everyday clothing for family occasions rather than a costume.
In Munich it is Festbier: a pale, smooth lager of around 6% brewed for the festival by six Munich breweries. In North America, "Oktoberfest" almost always means Märzen, which is darker, amber and maltier. Same word, two different beers.
