Why it’s on my list
Oktoberfest is the world’s largest Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16- to 18-day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture
More than six million people from around the world attend the event every year, having grown in popularity since it started in the year 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations that are modelled after the original Munich event.
Visitors also enjoy numerous attractions, such as amusement rides, side stalls, and games. There is also a wide variety of traditional foods available.
