Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival, celebrated in the city of Munich. It is also the biggest construction site in Munich, Bavaria recurring every year. Even though the festival lasts about 16 days, the entire construction on Munich’s Theresienwiese takes more than 70 days. A few breweries in Bangalore have decided to celebrate Oktoberfest in 2021.
Every year, visitors desperately wait to watch Munich’s Mayor tap the Oktoberfest beers. Bets are made to decide the best performance with the least amount of strokes involved. So far, the best performance stands at just two strokes and the worst – 19 strokes. Find out more about Oktoberfest here.
