Oktoberfest to go ahead in 2022 after pandemic break
The annual Oktoberfest, the largest beer festival in the world, will be held this year from Sept. 17 through Oct. 3 without coronavirus restrictions. It was cancelled the previous two years because of the pandemic. Munich mayor Dieter REITER announced Friday.
Reiter stated that there would be an "unrestricted" festival, which will hopefully give many people a lot more pleasure. He also said that he had given instructions to the festival's management not to delay or put restrictions on it.
Reiter said that he made his decision not lightly because of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. He also stated that there was still the possibility that the Oktoberfest would be cancelled if the government reinstates pandemic measures.
He said, "I hope that this situation won't come to an end in the fall."
Munich's Oktoberfest attracts 6 million people annually, many of them from overseas. Revellers gather at long communal tables and swig beer, eat sausages or pretzels, and listen to oompah music.
