Munichâs Oktoberfest, held each year since 1810 from late September through the first weekend in October, is one of the most famous events in Germany. It is a beer drinkerâs paradiseâover the course of sixteen days, more than six million visitors consume nearly two million gallons of specially brewed Oktoberfest beer. For the first-time visitor to the Wiesân (a meadow near Munichâs center dedicated to the festival), Oktoberfest can be a little overwhelming. Fortunately, Moses Wolff hasnât missed a day of Oktoberfest in years, and he knows the festival like the back of his hand.
