As the end of September approaches, millions of people around the world are getting ready to attend Oktoberfest, an annual festival in Munich, Germany.
The Munich Oktoberfest justly lays claim to being the world’s largest folk festival (yes, it’s not just about drinking beer).
Over the past decade, it has attracted an average of around six million visitors a year, who between them consume almost seven million liters of beer.
In addition to eating, drinking, and dancing, visitors can enjoy colourful parades, a variety of fairground rides, and for those, not themselves in traditional Bavarian gear, admire those that are.
The German festival is now a worldwide phenomenon celebrating Bavarian culture and flowing pints of beer.
Here are a few fun facts about Oktoberfest
The festival makes the city of Munich $1.43 billion in tourism money.
There are 38 different beer tents, and some can fit as many as 11,000 people.
1.98 million gallons of beer are consumed during the 16-day festival.
Over 510,000 whole roast chickens and 60,000 sausages are eaten.
As we do have a reputation for liking to party and consuming in the odd alcoholic beverage or three, here are some places in Pattaya for you to enjoy Oktoberfest.
