Oktoberfest began in 1810 as a celebration of Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese; the Theresienwiese field has hosted the festival since its inception.
Conservation
Munich runs recycling and waste-sorting at the festival; use designated bins, avoid single-use plastic where possible, and leave no trace in public spaces.
