Revelers celebrate Oktoberfest in Bavaria, the land of Gemtlichkeit,
comradeship and good cheer. The autumnal fair (to be held in 2006 from
September 16 to October 1) is Germany&#039s best known celebration and
draws millions of visitors to the city of Munich every year for hearty
food, brass bands, and lots and lots of beer.
