The Scale of Oktoberfest


I will tell you about the scale of Oktoberfest.

In 1999, 6,500,000 people visited Oktoberfest and it became the largest-scale festival in the world. People consumed about 5,800,000 liters of beer then.

72% of the people are from Bavaria. 15% of visitors come from foreign countries like the surrounding EU and other countries including the United States, Canada, India, Japan, Brazil and Australia.

The area of the premises has 42 hectares. In other words, it is about nine Tokyo domes.

Big tents are installed and a traveling amusement park in Theresienwiese.
