What is the Pasinger
The Pasinger Pre-Wiesn is a charming local folk festival in Munich’s west. It marks the festive kickoff to Munich’s Oktoberfest season each year and is a true highlight for anyone who appreciates Bavarian gemütlichkeit. This celebration is smaller and more intimate than the big Wiesn but still offers everything you’d expect from a Bavarian Volksfest.
The Pasinger Pre-Wiesn usually takes place in early to mid-September and typically lasts one weekend, from Friday through Sunday. You can look forward to a lively festival tent, traditional live music, and all the culinary classics that belong at a Bavarian celebration. Neighbors, families, Munich locals, and hotel guests come together here for a relaxed get-together. What sets it apart from Oktoberfest? The Pasinger Pre-Wiesn is smaller, more local, and more laid-back, yet still delivers the authentic Bavarian festive atmosphere you’re looking for.
