What: Oktoberfest 2023 / Where: Munich, Germany / When: September 16 – October 3, 2023 / Genre: All fun!

When it comes to Oktoberfest, it’s important to be well prepared. Aside from the obvious things like your ticket, cash, and ID, there are a few other items that can come in handy. We are happy to help you with this and have therefore put together this Oktoberfest checklist for you. This way you can be sure that you take everything with you!

You don’t realize how important some items are until you don’t have them with you. To prevent you from forgetting them, we have put it on your Oktoberfest checklist!

1. The Fanny pack

It’s the ultimate accessory to store all your essentials while keeping your hands free for more important things like beer! Plus, the fanny pack is making a comeback, and what better place to show off such a stylish yet practical fanny pack than at the world’s largest beer festival? Don’t get caught without your trusty fanny pack filled with pretzel crumbs, it’s the Oktoberfest must-have item of the year!

2. A good night sleep

A sleep mask and ear plugs may not be the first things you think of when you head to Oktoberfest. But you will certainly be happy with these items! This way you wake up rested and you can work back a few liters of beer. Maybe not the coolest items, but very handy!

3.  Cash

Bring cash to Oktoberfest. Many small stalls and beer tents only accept cash payments. It also helps you track your expenses and saves time at ATMs. Make sure to have enough cash and enjoy the festival hassle-free, with delicious food, drinks, and entertainment.

4. Shoes

Attending Oktoberfest is like running a marathon, but with beer. Avoid blisters and sore feet that can hinder your dance moves. Bring those comfortable shoes and enjoy the festival without your feet protesting. Trust me, your feet will thank you later as you continue to party carefree!

5. Water bottle

Bringing a water bottle to Oktoberfest may seem unnecessary, but it’s crucial to your health and enjoyment. With all the beer-drinking and savory snacks, staying hydrated throughout the day is essential. By having a reusable water bottle in hand, you prevent dehydration and avoid the high costs of buying water at the festival. So, add a water bottle to your Oktoberfest checklist and stay refreshed!

It is always part time at the Stoketoberfest camping!

Identification and tickets. The two of the most important things when you go abroad. Don’t forget to put these on your Oktoberfest checklist!

1. Busticket

Maximal Trips arranges your bus trip to Oktoberfest. Make sure to bring your ticket and don’t miss the bus!

2. Campingticket

You certainly won’t be the first to forget this. TIP: print your tickets. A good plan B is worth gold! If you’re unlucky your mobile might just run out of battery, Wi-Fi might not work, or you just can’t find them anywhere.

3. Passport / ID

Legitimacy is also important not to forget. You don’t want the waitress to refuse you because you didn’t bring your ID!

Oktoberfest is the bucket list item of the year! But you can enjoy this even more if you put the following items on your Oktoberfest checklist list.

1. Powerbank

Bringing a power bank to Oktoberfest can be a game-changer. With all the excitement, taking photos and keeping in touch with friends can quickly drain your phone’s battery. A power bank can keep your devices charged throughout the day, so you never miss an unforgettable moment. Plus, it’s always handy to have a backup power source for emergencies. So if you want to get the most out of your Oktoberfest experience, a portable power source like a power bank is a must-have!

2. Classic disposable camera

Capture the madness of Oktoberfest with a disposable camera! It’s the perfect way to capture the hilarity, crazy costumes, and unforgettable moments. Forget expensive cameras and embrace the retro vibe. Blinking flash, unpredictable results, and waiting for developed photos. It’s trending again! Get ready for amazing memories and “Remember when?” moments.

3. Warm clothes

When traveling with us to Oktoberfest, it’s a smart idea to bring warm clothing and rain gear. September can get quite chilly, especially in the evenings, and you never know when a rain shower might come your way. So, in addition to sweaters, jackets, and warm socks, pack a good raincoat or poncho as well, to ensure you can comfortably enjoy all that Oktoberfest has to offer.

4. Lederhosen and Dirndl’s

These fantastic outfits should of course not be forgotten! Don’t feel like browsing the internet or would you rather not carry it around? Then buy your Lederhosen or Dirndl in our shop! As soon as we have arrived at the campsite, these nice outfits are waiting for you at the reception. Nice and easy!

Lederhosen are iconic!
