Oktoberfest is a two - week Beer Festival held in Germany during late September and early October. There are six million people attending every year. It's the largest beer festival in the world.
Munich is the beer capital of the world. It is the home of beer-halls, beer-gardens, beer-cellars and the legendary Oktoberfest. Beer plays a central role in the fair, with every festival beginning with a key of beer tapped by the Mayor of Munich who declares"O'zaptt is!" (Bavarian:"It's tapped!"). A special Oktoberfest beer is brewed for the occasion, which is slightly darker and stronger, in both taste and alcohot.
