Oktoberfest 2016 – The Biggest Beer Festival In The World

The Munich Oktoberfest, known by the locals as the ‘Wiesn’, is the biggest public festival in the world and should be on every traveller’s bucket list.

Last year, across the 16 days the festival saw 5.9 million visitors who consumed 7.7 million litres of beer! This year, the Wiesn will officially begin on Saturday 17th September at the Schottenhamel tent where the Mayor of Munich will tap the first keg of Oktoberfest beer. Once the opening ceremonies have begun, all visitors will then be allowed to quench their thirst.
