Rosa Wiesn — Gay Oktoberfest Munich 2026

Rosa Wiesn (Pink Oktoberfest) is one of the world's most unique LGBTQ+ events: a gay takeover of the world's most famous beer festival. Each October, tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ people from across Europe join Munich's Oktoberfest at the Theresienwiese fairgrounds for a designated "gay day" at the Bräurosl tent — the largest beer tent at Oktoberfest. The contrast is part of the joy: lederhosen and dirndls worn unironically by thousands of gay men and lesbians, giant steins of Bavarian beer, oompah bands, and the general madness of Oktoberfest filtered through a queer lens. Rosa Wiesn has been running since the early 2000s and draws 15,000+ LGBTQ+ visitors specifically for the event, making it one of Germany's most distinctive gay calendar moments.

The surrounding festival weeks feature film, cabaret, and club nights across the city's lively queer venues.
