Munich-Sanctioned 'Oktoberfest Seoul' Opens September 19

'Oktoberfest Seoul 2026,' officially sanctioned by the city of Munich to use its name, will run from September 19 to October 4 at the Culture Station Oil Tank (Mapo). The event offers authentic Munich-style beer and German food, and uses only reusable cups to cut down on single-use waste. According to organizers, advance ticket confirmation is required, and exact operating hours and admission procedures are announced in stages on the official website (oktoberfestseoul.kr). The venue, a former oil storage facility now repurposed as a cultural space, is reachable on foot from World Cup Stadium Station on Line 6. As one of the few Munich-sanctioned Oktoberfest events in Korea, it's worth noting for travelers whose visit falls between September 19 and October 4. Korea Tourism Times Editorial Desk
