The world's largest folk festival

First held in 1810 to celebrate a Bavarian royal wedding, Oktoberfest, 'die Wiesn' to locals, now fills Munich's Theresienwiese with enormous beer tents run by the city's historic breweries, plus rides, roast chicken and pretzels the size of your head.

Mostly in September

Despite the name, most of Oktoberfest happens in September: it starts on a Saturday in mid-September and runs about 16, 18 days, ending the first Sunday of October (or October 3, German Unity Day, if that falls later).
