Oktoberfest 2006 in Munich

This year we got the chance again to visit the Oktoberfest in Munich for one day. Haven't been there for quite a while. It's also getting harder and harder to get a space inside the Festzelte. This time we were invited which made it a lot easier.

Inside the Löwenbräu Festzelt. Band is playing in the middle.

Heavy carrying waitress - they can carry up to 8 "Maßkrüge" which are really quite some weight!

Sweets at the Oktoberfest

Funky hats

A trip with the ferris wheel is always a must for me!
Looking down to all the Festzelte (each can host up to 10,000 people!!!). On a weekend, most of them are closed by 2pm
- too many people inside.

The entrances of some of the Festzelte by night (from top left to bottom right): Löwenbräu, Hacker ("Der Himmel der Bayern" - "heaven of bavarians"), Hofbräu, Spaten/Ochsenbraterei

thanks for sharing!! It's been a long time since I have been there. But this year we went to an Octoberfest in Connecticut and it was a lot of fun, too!
