And finally, the iconic beer festival "Oktoberfest" has kicked off in Germany... with millions
of beer lovers across the globe... celebrating the event.
Tell us how this year′s event is shaping up.
Well, the German city of Munich opened its grand tradition of hosting Oktoberfest, which
is dubbed as the largest, rowdiest... and most famous beer affair in the world.
The 181st Oktoberfest officially kicked off on Saturday,... with Munich mayor Dieter Reiter...
tapping the first beer keg for the Bavarian state premier.
Organizers say almost one-fifth of visitors travel from abroad to enjoy the annual festivities
and some 150 different drinks. But city officials say the event is for people
of all ages... to "dance and sing the hours away."

people having fun and going home in peace." "I am coming from Slovenia and I am here for
the first time and as you see, I went to the shop and I just bought these clothes just
for today." More than six million people are expected
to attend the event,... consuming around seven million litres of beer during the two-week
