It actually starts in September. Have any traditional favorites? Looking forward to a good old-fashioned triple wurst platter with some kraut and good mustard. Maybe schnitzel or sauerbraten along the way.
Seems spit-roasted chix, Bratwürste with Sauerkraut and Schweinshaxen (knuckles) are most popular at the Wiesn/Fest.

But this is my personal favourite: Steckerfisch (usually mackerel)
Endless photos of servers carry multiple, heart-stoppingly massive beer Steins
And then there’s “Bierleichen”
(not food but Oktoberfest related).
This is the site of the Fest in 2020. Makes you realise how much you miss something when it’s not there.
Enjoy!
If I were an extrovert I would go and have a good time. But it’s one of my nightmare scenarios so nope (and I love beer and all things German!).

We’re invited to a friend’s house for their annual Oktoberfest just down the road from us. The last 3 or 4 times I’ve always had a gig the same night 
We’re expecting Bratwürstl & Oktoberfestbier. Also, I’m with @Presunto – you couldn’t pay me to go to the actual Oktoberfest, and I am an extrovert. But… no thanks!

I’ve been twice. Its one of those things you should see because its such a spectacle. Not sure I need to go back because people.
Went to a new-to-me German restaurant with a friend last week, so had an Oktoberfest beer, and the Augsburger chef did not disappoint. We had sauerbraten with outstanding rotkohl and hausgemacht spaetzel, and a delicious strudel for dessert.

I’d love to go to a real Octoberfest in the homeland just for the experience. The ones they have around here are such poor excuses to get schnockered.
