For many locals in Munich, Oktoberfest does not really start until the crowds of Trachtler, people dressed in traditional costume, take to the streets. The traditional Trachtenumzug (parade) – which is the largest of its type in the world – always takes place on the first Sunday of Oktoberfest.
The City of Munich is also affected by the nationwide measures to contain the coronavirus. The good news: hotels and accommodation establishments, indoor and outdoor gastronomy and shops are open. But there are some restrictions. All other important information about the coronavirus and your stay in Munich can be found here.
