Oktoberfest started Saturday in Munich

[EdWort]

Workers carry the first barrel beer into the beer hall where the traditional opening of the 174th Oktobersfest takes place, in Munich, southern Germany, on early Saturday, Sept. 22, 2007. Some six million visitors from around the globe are expected to come to the Bavarian capital, until the end of the world famous beer festival on Oct 7, 2007.

Prost!
