To coincide with the start of advance ticket sales for what is now the 11th Frankfurt Oktoberfest, which will take place from September 11 to October 6, 2019, the new ambassador was also traditionally presented today. This year, TV star Janine Kunze will take on this task, which the actress is already looking forward to. So far, she says, she has only ever been in Frankfurt to work, but that is finally set to change. "I'm looking forward to finding time as an ambassador for the Frankfurt Oktoberfest to take a proper look at the city." She had already visited the Oktoberfest at the Commerzbank Arena once and had a wonderful evening there. Therefore, she didn't have to think long to accept this offer. "I like being an ambassador for things that make you forget your everyday life." And that definitely applies to the Frankfurt Oktoberfest.
That the atmosphere will not only be great at the traditional tapping of the barrel, which Janine Kunze will do on 11. September, will be great, for this, of course, again the party program should provide, where in addition to Oktoberfest regulars such as Mickie Krause, the Trenkwalder or Roy Hammer & his Pralinées also a few new names on the illustrious guest list will be: For example, on 12 September Oli P. with the 90s Wiesn should bring the marquee to shake. And also Ingo without Flamingo will make his debut in Frankfurt at the Malle Wiesn on October 3.
The festival beer will of course come from the Binding brewery again this year. Gastronomically, in addition to the popular classics of Hessian-Bavarian cuisine, there will also be some new dishes on the menu: for example, wild goulash will be served for the first time in 2019. Guests can also order stuffed veal breast this year. And by popular demand, there will also be delicious chocolate pudding as a dessert.
New is also a traditional costume rental in the foyer of the festival tent. Although no Dirndl or leather pants are offered, but at least shirts and blouses in the check look, so that even short decided visitors or guests who come directly from the office to the marquee, do not feel underdressed. "It pays to be quick, because the Saturdays are sold out quickly - and experience shows that the popular marquee boxes for groups of up to 40 people are also booked up quickly," advises Patrick Hausmann. For Oktoberfest enthusiasts, there are therefore three additional ticket categories, which are built on the short side of the tent and offer space for 50 people each.
In addition to the evening events, there are five Frühshoppen, each on Sunday mornings and on the Day of German Unity, October 3. Tickets for all events are available online at www.frankfurter-oktoberfest.de, by calling 069 407662 580 as well as at all known advance booking offices. The fact that the Frankfurt Oktoberfest has long since become firmly established in the region is shown, for example, by the enormous run on tickets, which this year at the start of advance sales was even greater than in the previous anniversary year. So who wants to be there this year in the now 90-meter-long marquee, which should hurry.
