The Munich Oktoberfest has reopened after a temporary closure due to a bomb threat. The police gave the all-clear, allowing the event to resume at 5:30 PM. Mayor Dieter Reiter announced the reopening via Instagram.
Earlier today, the Oktoberfest was closed following a bomb threat. The city of Munich and police worked swiftly to investigate the threat, which was found to be connected to an explosion in Munich's north and a corresponding letter from the perpetrator. Sniffer dogs from all available units in Bavaria were deployed to search the Oktoberfest grounds for explosives. Despite the scare, Mayor Reiter reassured the public that the threat was directed exclusively at the Oktoberfest, and there was no wider risk to the city.
Morning reservations affected by the closure can be rebooked, depending on availability. Vouchers for the Oktoberfest remain valid and can be redeemed in the next few days.
