beer tents

Oktoberfest drinking shelters

Beer tents are large temporary structures set up at outdoor festivals, fairs, and events where beer is served.

Most associated with German Oktoberfest celebrations, where massive tents hold thousands of revelers at long communal tables: We spent the afternoon in the beer tent singing with strangers.

The term extends to smaller setups at county fairs, concerts, and sporting events.
