Oktoberfest 2026: Everything you need to know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Saturday, September 19, at noon, Oktoberfest will once again open with the ceremonial tapping of the keg, during which the mayor of Munich drives a tap into the first wooden barrel of beer and calls out "O'zapft is," a Bavarian phrase that translates to "It's tapped."
