I'd like to go within the next few years before I get settled down with a family. Who here has been and what sort of stories can you share? Just reading about the event makes me giddy like a school girl.

It's in September.


Don't show up late like I did.

Are you asking about Oktoberfest in Ponchatoula, or actually flying to Germany?

Oktober means harvest in french.

Most people don't realize that it happens in September in the Augustin calendar.

Or that the word fest is German, and comes the word "festival"

It's literally a harvest festival, complete with bier, aka beer, und pretzels.

Actually flying to Germany. I'd honestly be fine with being out there just for one day but ideally two. Might make a bigger trip out of it and go to a couple of other countries as well.

Only 2 days?

It'll take that long to get there and come home.

My wife works in Munich we go every year her school rents out a portion of a tent. It is a good time they have tents set up that can hold thousands of people and it is pretty much drinking beer and having a good time.

I'll bet Rick Steves already covered it during one of his many euro tours
