Oide Wiesn 2026: Munich celebrates tradition, music and folk festival magic
The Oide Wiesn on the Theresienwiese is Munich's nostalgic answer to the big Oktoberfest: relaxed, traditional, and full of customs. On 21.09.2026, visitors can experience historical rides, Bavarian live music, family activities, and the unmistakable sense of community of a real folk festival.
A historical piece of Wiesn with its own soul
Since its inception from the anniversary Oktoberfest in 2010, the Oide Wiesn has established itself as a firm favorite among the public. The city of Munich describes the area in the southern part of the Theresienwiese as a fenced, tranquil, and culturally strong island with festival tents, a museum tent, and nostalgic attractions. The character is intentionally different from the main festival: more customs, more music, more Munich identity.

Atmosphere between brass band music, rides and family moments
Anyone strolling through the grounds will immediately feel the special festival atmosphere: the aroma of delicacies, the chugging of historical carousels and the sound of traditional bands create a multi-day experience with a strong sense of community. The museum tent brings history to life, while the festival tents showcase cultural programs and customs. Many visitors consider the Oide Wiesn a cozy family alternative with authentic folk festival culture. ([br.de](https://www.br.de/extra/wiesn/oide-wiesn-102.html?utm_source=openai))
