O'zapft is! The Munich Office Celebrates Oktoberfest in Style On September 25th, our team transformed the office into a vibrant celebration of Bavarian culture, echoing the charm of the original Wiesn. From traditional blue-and-white décor to the sounds of classic Bavarian tunes, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create an authentic Oktoberfest experience. The day kicked off with a festive atmosphere and a hearty spread of local delicacies with a good variety of Brezels and refreshing beverages that kept spirits high. But it wasn’t just about food and music-fun was at the forefront! Some of our colleagues tested their strength and spirit in the “Masskrugstemmen” challenge and spun their way through quirky Oktoberfest trivia in the Spin-the-Wheel game, both of which sparked laughter and friendly competition. Everyone embraced the theme with enthusiasm, capturing memories at the dedicated photo booth and enjoying the camaraderie that only a celebration like this can bring. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped organize and participated in making this event such a success. Events like these remind us of the power of shared experiences in building strong, connected teams. We’re already looking forward to next year’s celebration—bigger, better, and even more Bavarian! #Oktoberfest #TeamCulture #MunichOffice #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceCelebration #ProstToTeamwork
