As excitement builds in Munich, the countdown to the much-anticipated Oktoberfest has begun. Our tz reporters Aga and Niclas were given an exclusive tour of the final preparations, providing insights into the meticulous planning that goes into making this annual Bavarian celebration a success.

The Oktoberfest, set to start on Saturday, will see the city transform into a bustling hub of fun, food, and festivities. The reporters began their tour at the heart of the action – the Theresienwiese, or the Wiesn as it is locally known. Here, they spoke with the Wiesn boss, who shared details about the logistics of transporting the largest mobile roller coaster in the world to the festival grounds.

The process of selecting rides for Oktoberfest is a meticulous one, explained by Dieter Reiter, who is instrumental in the decision-making process. The rides must not only meet stringent safety standards but also embody the spirit of the festival. The reporters took a tour of the various rides, speaking with ride operators to get a sense of the preparations underway.

The tour also included conversations with experienced waitresses who shared details about getting a job at Oktoberfest. With thousands of visitors expected to attend, the waitresses play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth-running festival. Their duties extend beyond serving beer – they are also responsible for maintaining a lively atmosphere and offering a warm Bavarian welcome to all.

The final preparations for Oktoberfest involve a series of checks and arrangements. From ensuring the tents are ready to welcome visitors, to the rides being tested and the food stalls stocked, every detail is carefully attended to. The reporters were able to witness these final touches, providing a glimpse into the hard work that goes into making Oktoberfest a success.

As the preparations reach their final stages, Munich is buzzing with anticipation. The Oktoberfest is more than just a festival; it's a tradition, a celebration of Bavarian culture, and a chance for people from all over the world to come together and enjoy a shared experience.

Our reporters Aga and Niclas will continue to bring you updates from the Oktoberfest as the festivities unfold. Stay tuned for more insights into the world's largest folk festival. Prost!
