Definition
Oktoberfest is a sixteen- to eighteen-day folk festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from mid- or late September to the first Sunday in October. It’s essentially a huge beer festival and travelling funfair. Think of it as the ultimate party, German style! Unlike a regular carnival, Oktoberfest is steeped in tradition and Bavarian culture. It's a celebration of beer, food, music, and Gemütlichkeit (coziness and good cheer).
