Oktoberfest bag policy
Oktoberfest is a lot of fun, so don't miss out on the experience because you haven't read the bag policy!
While small bags will be allowed in after a bag search (think small purses, tiny backpacks & handbags - bags of 20cm x 15cm x 10cm and under), backpacks, suitcases and larger bags will not be allowed into the venue. Small bags that are accepted into the venue after the bag search will be given a color-coded tag.
Alongside a bag size policy, specific items are also prohibited. Items that will not be allowed into Oktoberfest regardless of bag size include - but aren't limited to glass bottles & spray cans. For more information, check out the official Oktoberfest website.
