Germany’s largest festival is about to return… Here’s everything you need to know about Oktoberfest. What Is Oktoberfest? Oktoberfest is an annual folk festival and celebration of Bavarian culture, food and beer that takes over the German city of Munich every autumn.

Oktoberfest has tightened security around the beer festival in the wake of a deadly knife attack in western Germany last month.

Every September, millions of tourists flock to Munich for Oktoberfest. However, the true centre of German beer culture lies three hours north in the medieval town of Bamberg.

Celebrate the rich German culture in the QCA and enjoy a day of music, food, games and beer. German American Heritage Center Executive Director Brian Allen spoke with Our Quad Cities News about Oktoberfest.
