At the end of the 190th Oktoberfest in Munich, the city drew an overall positive balance. Around 6.5 million people visited the "Wiesn" this year - slightly fewer than in 2024, when 6.7 million guests were counted. Oktoberfest boss Christian Scharpf (SPD) spoke of a "rollercoaster Wiesn" at the annual press conference; Oktoberfest started with a record temperature of 30.7 degrees. On the second "Wiesn" Saturday, the grounds had to be temporarily closed for the first time due to overcrowding - and on October 1, a bomb threat led to a further closure until the evening. A year that will go down in history.
