Oktoberfest is the biggest party in Germany, but you've got to dress the part. In the run-up to this year's Oktoberfest, which will kick off on Saturday, September 16, Stuttgart designer Kinga Mathe unveiled what may be the world's most expensive dirndl, which costs a whopping $32,000. The price tag for the dirndl may seem shocking, but every item is custom made for each individual client with only the finest materials and precious stones.
The Oktoberfest, Munich's annual beer festival, kicks off with the mayor of the city tapping the first keg at noon. The festival will go on until 3 October 2023. IMAGES
Marching bands, dancing groups and sporting clubs from across Bavaria paraded through Munich city center, on their way to the Oktoberfest venue at the city's Theresienwiese. Over 6 million visitors from around the world are expected to attend this year’s festivities.
Countless numbers of beer lovers flooded the brewery tents in Munich as the world renown Oktoberfest festival officially kicked off on Saturday. Over 7 million visitors are expected to attend Oktoberfest this year. Vendors expect the revelers to imbibe over 6.5 million litres of beer during the festival and are expecting to rake in an astounding $1.5 billion in revenue from tourists in 2017.
The city of Munich presents one of its most anticipated artefacts - the official Oktoberfest 2015 beer mug. Roselle Chen reports.
