“the mayor of Munich will kick off the 16-day extravaganza of beer-swilling and sausage-gobbling to the accompaniment of an oompah band.” .....

Pic confirms it !

I miss the Oktoberfest ...was stationed in Germany many times. I miss the Hofbrau haus ...

Once I lived in Queens NY, was my first year there. They were having an Octoberfest, but it was August, so I said to the girl manning a booth, but....it’s August?

She answered, if we had it in October it would be too cold and no one would come.

?

In the not so distant past, a few choices of beer and sausage at Oktoberfest meant that getting the coming winter was really going to be a bitch. It stands to reason that factor is somewhat relevant in present the time, as well.

And in Norway, it’s HERRINGFEST! There’s the traditional RUNNING OF THE HERRING! Men match their courage against herring running through the streets of Oslo! The fish are dead, so there’s really not much danger. There’s THE TOSSING OF THE HERRING! Muscular young men see how far they can chuck a herring. Extra points if you hit a foreigner! And my personal favorite.....THE 24 HOURS OF HERRING. An endurance race that pits man and herring against 24 hours of tricky curves and blazing fast straightaways! The losers are eaten by cats. That includes the drivers. Enjoy some tasty herring cake and wash it down with a glass of cold, delicious herring milk!

I went there in Sept 1970. Managed to sink a few steins. I speak/ understand very little German. One of the barmaids figured out that I was Yankee, and started lighting into me. She yelled that some drunken American soldiers started a brawl and did several thousand dollars of damage. Naturally, it was my fault.
