Oktoberfest

For sixteen days every fall people flock to Germany to join in the yearly Oktoberfest celebrations. Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, between late September through the first week of October it has become the highlight of the fall season and one of Germany’s most renowned holidays. Oktoberfest 2012, the 179th annual event, will be held between September 22nd and October 7th.

Over 5 million people attend the Munich celebrations and it has become the world’s largest fair on record and the fairgrounds encompass over 103 acres of space in an area known as Theresienwiese.
