Oktoberfest, the globe’s most iconic folk festival, annually transforms Munich into a vibrant celebration of Bavarian heritage, spanning 18 days from mid-September to early October. Visitors from around the world don traditional lederhosen and dirndls, immersing themselves in spirited parades, lively music, and classic funfair attractions—always accompanied by the region's legendary beers.
Emirates honors this time-honored tradition by curating a limited-time Bavarian-inspired culinary and beverage selection across all German-bound flights during the festival period.
