Oktoberfest is a 2 week festival held each my each year in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany during late September and early October. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some 6 million people attentding every year. The event traditionaly takes place during the 16 days up to and including the first Sunday in October. The schedule was changed following German reunification in 1990 so that if the 1st October Sunday is the 1st or 2nd then the festival will go on until October 3rd (German Unity Day). Thus the festival is now 17 days when the 1st Sunday is October 2nd and 18 days when it is October 1st. The festival is held on an area named ther Theresienwiese. Beer plays a central role in the fair , with every festival beginning with a keg of beer tapped by the Mayor of Munich who declares "Ozapft is!" (Bavarian: It's tapped!") A special Okto beer is brewed for the occasion which is slightly darker and stronger in both taste and alcohol. It is served in a one liter-tank and called "MaB."

There are many problems every year with young people who overestimate their ability to handle large amounts of alcohol, many pass out due to drunkeness. Oktoberfest has turned into an enormous world famous festival and party. It is a time of celebration and fun!
