Oktoberfest is a two-week beer festival held each year in Munich, Germany, in late September. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest celebration of beer.

A special Oktoberfest beer is brewed for the occasion.

The idea of Oktoberfest has spread from Munich to much of the United States, where it may be celebrated any time from September to November. Many other places have beer festivals, but generally reserve the name "Oktoberfest" for the Munich event.
