Oktoberfest 2026
House Specialty
Slightly off the main Wirtsbudenstraße lies the wonderfully cozy Schützen Festzelt, run by host couple Reinbold — featuring a wraparound interior gallery and the famous south-facing grand balcony, considered the most beautiful on the entire Wiesn, offering views of the Ferris wheel, the Bavaria statue, and the sunset.
What began as a small refreshment hut for marksmen on the Theresienwiese became the first Schützenhalle in 1876, and from 1926 onward the Schützenfestzelt — making it one of the oldest tents at the festival. Today it is far more than just a meeting point for shooting clubs: from Munich's youth to high society, everyone feels welcome here.

Across the entire Wiesn, only the Schützen Festzelt brings this to the beer tables: the traditionally prepared suckling pig in malt beer, served with freshly grated potato dumplings and a warm bacon coleslaw. Those with a sweet tooth shouldn't miss the world-famous Franziskaner Kaiserschmarrn with rum raisins and plum compote. The beer served is Löwenbräu Oktoberfest beer — fresh, golden, and unmistakable.
The legendarily great atmosphere in the tent is provided by Walter Bankhammer and the Niederalmer, who have been performing at the Schützen Festzelt since 1997. As rock and pop dominate the evening program, the mood gets well and truly fired up — from Bavarian brass music in the afternoon to rousing party hits in the evening, there's something for everyone.
