Story · Oktoberfest

You're standing on the Theresienwiese in Munich, home of Oktoberfest. Locals just call it the Wiesn, Bavarian for meadow. Outside the season it's mostly a huge open field. But picture fourteen gigantic tents, roller coasters, swing boats, strongman games and millions of visitors. This is the largest folk festival in the world.
