Oktoberfest is the world’s largest
Volksfest (beer festival and travelling
funfair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16-day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October,
with more than 6 million people from
around the world attending the event
every year. Locally, it is often simply
called the Wiesn, after the colloquial
name of the fairgrounds (Theresienwiese) themselves. The Oktoberfest is an
important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities
across the world also hold Oktoberfest
celebrations, modelled after the original Munich event.as a sinister gentleman dressed in black, or a hairy manbeast. Krampus punishes the naughty
children, swatting them with switches
and rusty chains before dragging them,
in baskets, to a fiery place below.
