Hofbräu-Festzelt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hofbräu-Festzelt is the second largest beer tent of the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.
The tent has an area of 5,084 m² and 4,460 seats (plus 1,436 on the balkony) and 1,000 non-seating tables only inside. The outside area measures 2,000 m² with 3,022 seats.
The brewery Hofbräuhaus, the tent's sponsor, has been active in Oktoberfest since 1955. The current tent was built in 1972. The tent needs three months to be built. During Oktoberfest 2004 (16 days), there was a total consumption of 500,000 L. beer and 70,000 whole roast chickens. At good weather conditions, guests are also able to sit outside.
