I am going to move this to the FT Community Buzz Forum where you will find an Octoberfest Forum. I am sure that the Moderators of that forum will be pleased to include your query.

I think you need to start with Google to get the basics.

Oktoberfest is in Munich, and actually takes place mostly during September.

I think we will be able to help you better if you check out some other sites to get an overview of the festival, and come back here once you have some more specific questions.

now that we know, Octoberfest is in Germany, let's move this to the Germany forum, where you can find all important information about this.

and a look here can't hurt to get an overwiev: http://tinyurl.com/yfe2e9q

Oktoberfest in Munich might be the biggest and only famous one outside of germany, but there are at least a couple of others all over germany, like the Cannstdter Wasn or the Oktoberfest in Hannover, that all take place in late september and early october.

You can check out at Kirmesforum.de, when these events will start.

If you like this kind of "entertainment" then I suggest to try a Schtzenfest in a small village in the countryside as well.

Then you really know what germany is all about ...
