As the organizer of the Oktoberfest, the City of Munich is concerned not only to make it possible for people with disabilities and limited mobility to visit the Wiesn, but also to make it easy and attractive. To this end, Munich works closely with the city's Advisory Council for the Disabled. The Oktoberfest's showmen and market traders are happy to provide assistance within the scope of their possibilities and to accommodate the wishes of people with disabilities. Participation at the Wiesn is also possible for people with disabilities.
There are free drinking water fountains at ten locations this year, where Wiesn guests in wheelchairs can also draw water without barriers. Unbreakable drinking vessels must be brought along, but filled drinking bottles may not be brought into the tents.
Wiesn guests can obtain information and purchase high-quality official souvenirs at three different locations on the festival grounds. The booths are each also equipped with a low sales counter. The Oktoberfest Giant Ferris Wheel has a ramp that allows wheelchairs or walkers to reach the two gondolas suitable for wheelchairs under their own power.
The ramp to the station area of the ride is designed to meet standards. Barrier-free access to the shooting and throwing stands is guaranteed by ramps, depending on the nature of the stand.
However, many other shooting galleries also allow barrier-free participation. Access to snack stands and beer bars is guaranteed by ramps, depending on the nature of the stand.

All festival halls offer at least one barrier-free entrance and are contractually obliged to provide wheelchair spaces. The large tents must offer at least 20 wheelchair-accessible spaces in the tent and 20 in the beer garden.
