## Which tents are there and where?

There are 17 large tents, 14 on the main grounds along Wirtsbudenstraße and Matthias-Pschorr-Straße and 3 on the Oide Wiesn, plus 21 small tents that serve everything from roast chicken and duck to fish, sausages, coffee and cake.

The main entrance is at the north end of Wirtsbudenstraße, next to the Marstall tent. The Oide Wiesn, the historic fair, is the fenced southern part of the grounds with its own gates (Eingang OW 1 and Eingang Oide Wiesn). The rides fill the Schaustellerstraße and the numbered streets, and the Servicezentrum, the building with the festival management, the police, the medical service and the Safe Space for girls and women, stands at the western end of Matthias-Pschorr-Straße. The organiser's [site plan for 2026](https://www.oktoberfest.de/en/map) shows every tent and ride.

The 14 big tents with their street on the grounds and the organiser's seat count inside:

## About Roots Earth

Roots Earth needs no account: open Munich in the app, pick a place and play; download Munich's audio, then it plays without a connection.

The stories are written by local people, and every one of Munich's 98 places has its audio story in all seven Roots Earth languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Albanian.

During the festival the program, the tents and experiences and the 25 places are in the Roots Earth app, Munich section, under Events and Activities for Germany; after Sunday 4 October 2026 that section switches off by design and the Munich audio stories stay.

Across the app, Roots Earth has audio stories for 5,665 places in 130 cities, 25 countries and 6 regions, as counted in the live catalogue on 12 September 2026: audio stories in English and German in every city, and in Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Albanian in 126 of the 130 cities. Download a city's audio, then it plays without a connection.
