Oktoberfest 2024 made a big impact with 6.7 million visitors and nearly 7 million liters of beer consumed in 16 days. More than just a Bavarian tradition, it's a celebration of unity and heritage. Visitors from around the world come to experience Bavarian culture, from folk songs to pop hits like "YMCA" and "Sweet Caroline," all while toasting "Prost!" It's also a key moment for younger locals to connect with their cultural roots.
Mr. Clemens Baumgärtner, Head of Labour and Economic Affairs for the City of Munich, said, "Oktoberfest 2024 was especially relaxed this year, and the focus on a peaceful, quality-driven festival will continue."
