Oktoberfest: Costume and Riflemen's Parade
About this Event
If you're very familiar with Oktoberfest, then you'll know that the second and much bigger parade is the traditional costume parade. Similar to the day before, this parade is led by the Münchner Kindl and features flag bearers, marching bands, traditional costumes and dancing, and horse-drawn carriages.
The Costume and Riflemen's Parade starts at the Max II monument on Maximilianstraße and ends at the Theresienwiese.
