While its name suggests it takes place in October, the majority of the event actually occurs in late September, typically lasting for 16 to 18 days. The exact dates for Oktoberfest vary each year, but it usually begins in the second half of September and ends on the first Sunday of October. In 2023, Oktoberfest is scheduled to take place from September 16th to October 3rd.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\ud83d\udece\ufe0f Where to stay in Munich for Oktoberfest<\/p><cite><br>Planning to experience the world-famous Oktoberfest in Munich?
