The Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held in late September and early October every year in Munich, Germany and is attended by six million people each year! The festival has made its way to many countries around the world (often founded by German immigrants, descendants or expats). The largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany is in Canada, in the of Kitchener and Waterloo, Ontario where they welcome 750,000 to 1,000,000 visitors every year.
