Fruehlingsfest Munich
Hello,
I am planning on spending a few days in Munich during the Spring Fest, not sure what to expect. Should we reserve a table in one of the tents, or are tables available on a walk-in basis? I can't seem to find any information on the 2011 event other than dates (which tents are open, etc). Are the crowds managable, less touristy than Oktoberfest?
Any tips/guidance/thoughts are appreciated.

Not sure what it is like these days but the few times I was there (as a teenager), it was something like a cheap version of the Oktoberfest.
Back in time it was not necessary to reserve a table.

Hello,
no need to reserve at all. It's nice and small - not really compareable to Octoberfest but still nice. If you have never been do go for a couple of hours. Just don't expect anything like the Octoberfest.
We enjoy going on a nice day for a Ma or two....

I hope I didn't put you off! Come to Munich, it is a lovely place to go, just don't make the Spring Feast the main reason to go. There is plenty to see and if you are in it, go for an late afternoon / evening and have fun, I am sure you will. It is just NOT the Oktoberfest!
