The fest runs over two weeks and takes place at Munich's Theresienwiese. I went along with a couple of friends for the first time in 2009 and loved it. We first took a stroll around the grounds to check out the rides before finding a spinning carousel with an in-built bar - Happy hour with €1 glasses of Pils! Bliss.
After that we sat in the Paulaner beer garden to soak up the sun and a bit more beer before transitioning into the Augustiner beer tent as the sun went down. Then party, party, party.
A few specifics for drinking… The Spring Festival has a big beer tent called the Festhalle Bayernland which seats about 2000 people. Munich’s favourite Augustiner beer is splashed out from traditional wooden kegs. In 2010 the Hippodrom-Festzelt, a favourite Oktoberfest beer tent, will make it's debut at the Munich Spring Festival. A new lager beer called Spaten Frühlingsfest Hell will be served. Note: There'll be no fire and brimstone, Hell means "light" in German and refers to the shade of the brew, not the strengh. If the weather’s friendly you might want to sit a while in the Radlingers Weißbiergarten, a beer garden that specialises in Paulaner Weizen (Bavarian “white beer”). A band often cranks out old-time Bavarian hits. There’s also a covered section, the Allwetter-Biergarten, if it’s too wet or chilly. …and riding There are dozens of rides including a Ferris wheel (Riesenrad) a ghost train (Geisterbahn), the Frisbee and Europe’s longest portable slide, the Münchner Rutschn. There are more than 10 rides designed especially for younger kids. Tuesdays are special “family days” with reduced prices for the rides.
