AMP parties are legendary for their outstanding line-ups and Lost & Found does not disappoint. Expect to see the best house, techno, grime and bass DJs at castle raves, pool parties, in boats and at the Hidden Nighttime Arena.

Line-up includes Annie Mac, The Black Madonna, Chase & Status (DJ set), Artwork B2B Horse Meat Disco, Bugzy Malone, Peggy Gou, Shy FX, Skream, Toddla T.

Oktoberfest`s events 2019

The record-setting 2018 Oktoberfest was the Oktoberfest to end all Oktoberfests. But, lucky for us, it didn’t! Woop woop! Raise the roof your glass! Oktoberfest 2019 will go on as planned and it’s up to us to make this year even more epic than the last.

And how will we do that, you ask? By attending parades and concerts and contests (always shoot your crossbows responsibly, folks). By riding rides and watching guys with whips and trying new foods we can’t pronounce (just trust us on the dampfnudel). And by consuming more than 2018’s record 7.5 million litres of beer. It can be done! The time is now to plan your strategy—start here with the Oktoberfest 2019 schedule of (really awesome) events.

Oktoberfest 2019 Schedule of Events

Saturday, September 21st

9 a.m. | Oktoberfest begins! More or less! Beer won’t be served until noon so that gives you three hours to get your rear in gear. I hope you wore your running shoes and your… athlederhosen? Sure, that works.

11 a.m. | The Oktoberfest opening day parade works its way from the Marienplatz to the Theresienwiese. Tent owners, landlords, event hosts and their families (i.e. your new best friends), and the local breweries arrive to the Oktoberfest grounds on horse-drawn beer carriages. The lavish parade of about 1,000 participants is lead by the Münchner Kindl, Munich’s beautiful female monk mascot, because why not? To follow the parade, check out this map (red line).

Noon | O’zapft is! – That’s German for “Yay we can drink now!” In the Schottenhamel tent, the Lord Mayor of Munich has tapped the first Oktoberfest keg of 2019 – the most important item on the Oktoberfest 2019 schedule of events, no? It’s not until this happens that beer can be served everywhere else at Oktoberfest. Danke, Lord Mayor. Danke very much.

St. Patrick’s Day 2019

Whether you’re Irish or not, there’s a temptation to take part in celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day – a beloved tradition worldwide that sees thousands of people coming together to drink, dress in green, eat traditional food from Ireland and generally celebrate Irish heritage.

What is Saint Patrick’s Day, and where does it come from?
Saint Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a celebration in honour of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.

The day of celebration, which marks the day of Saint Patrick’s death, was originally a religious holiday meant to celebrate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and made official by the Catholic Church in the early 17th century.

Observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Lutheran Church, the day was typically observed with services, feasts and alcohol.
