Bier tents are large, temporary structures commonly found at festivals, particularly during events like the Oktoberfest in Munich. They are designed to accommodate large crowds, providing a space for people to enjoy food, drinks, and entertainment. The tents are typically decorated with festive themes and can hold hundreds to thousands of guests. Inside a bier tent, visitors can find long communal tables and benches, creating a social atmosphere. The main attraction is often a variety of beer options, especially local brews, along with traditional German cuisine such as pretzels and sausages. Live music and performances frequently enhance the lively environment.
