A parade of thousands in traditional southern German costume paraded through Munich on Sunday morning to mark the second day of Oktoberfest, as many lined the streets to take in the sight. The parade included groups of traditional dancers as well as brewery carriages,

More than just a beer festival, Oktoberfest celebrates Bavarian culture with its rich history, traditions, and festive atmosphere.

Oktoberfest will open after the ceremonial keg-tapping by Munich Mayor when he inserts the tap into the first keg at noon on Saturday.
