Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter gave the Oktoberfest in the Bavarian capital on Saturday the traditional start, opened a barrel of beer and marked it with the time-honored sentence "O’Zapft is!" (Bayer for "It is locked"). Reiter then gave the first mug to the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus S\u00f6der with a wish for a peaceful festival, whereby the sunny, late summer weather was good for his success.<\/p>\n
Before knocking, S\u00f6der described the Oktoberfest as an opportunity to maintain some relief and a place in a time of several crises where there is "pure high mood". The event on the Theresienwiese Fairground in the center of Munich is known as the largest beer and folk festival in the world.<\/p>\n
The Oktoberfest, which always begins in September, runs this year from September 20 to October 5. As the main tourist event in the country, the annual festival in its 190th edition is expected to attract at least 6 million visitors with a record of 7.2 million in 2023.<\/p>\n
Oktoberfest also offers attractions for fairgrounds. The amount of beer that is drunk at the festival corresponds to the number of visitors, with the night owls in the same year 7.4 million liters (1.95 million gallons) of the amber-colored drink with yeast-based yeasts. In addition to drinking beer in one of the numerous tents that were built for this purpose, visitors can also take pleasure trips, take part in games and enjoy traditional Bavarian dishes or other comestics from the food.<\/p>\n
Many people gathered at the event location from the dark early morning hours of Saturday morning and waited for admission at 9 a.m. However, some could have a shock about what they have to pay for a cup now, with prices reaching record levels this year. Despite this, the festival promises to be an exciting experience for all who attend, with its unique blend of traditional culture, entertainment, and hospitality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
