Hello!! We are going to talk about the location and information, facts, data, history and problems of Oktoberfest. First, what is Oktoberfest? Oktoberfest is the biggest festival in the world that is held in Germany, Munich. The main event is the beer tent.
I'm going to talk about information and location of Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is held over for 16 days, until the first Saturday of Oktober. On the weekdays, the event starts at 10, but in the weekends it starts at 9, and it ends at 11:30 at night. The entrance fee is free, but to enjoy the atractions, charge it every time!!
The site of the festival is in Theresienwiese, which is 42 hectares and about 9 times the size of Tokyo Dome. There are attractions like Haunted house, Ferris wheel and so on, but the main event is the beer tent.
On the first day, there is a parade including the mayor of Munich and a lady wearing a black cape dressed up as Munchner Kindl. In the parade, the festival runners show up and the carriage carries the beer barrels. At noon, the mayor opens the tap and declares, "The beer is served!" which starts the Oktoberfest officially.
