Oktoberfest with extra length: Why many are happy when the XXL Wiesn is over – Munich

This year the Oktoberfest lasts two days longer than usual. You might think that the innkeepers will be very happy about the additional income. Why everyone is still happy when the fun is over on Tuesday evening.

Two more days… Is that a sigh? The XXL Oktoberfest 2023 is entering the home stretch, and quite a few people think it’s about time for it. Especially, of course, those who work there. 16 days – that’s how long the Oktoberfest normally is when it traditionally ends on the first Sunday in October. That’s a long time anyway if you work through it. But 17 or even 18 days, when, like this year, the October 3rd holiday falls on a Tuesday, that’s even more difficult, because the Oktoberfest is known to be particularly well attended on the last few days.
