Oktoberfest

A selection of pictures of the Oktoberfest in Munich taken in 2002 and 2005. The Oktoberfest is held every year in Munich on the Theresienwiese site, between the second half of September and early October. The Oktoberfest itself consists of a huge fun fair on one side and large tents, where people drink beer while a band plays music. Lots of visitors wear the traditional Bavarian dress - Lederhosen (leather trousers) for the men and Dirndl for the women. The Octoberfest attracts each year a huge number of foreign tourists.
