Oktoberfest 2020 - a photo on Flickriver

Oktoberfest 2020

Since 1810, when Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig I organized the first Oktoberfest in Munich —to celebrate his nuptials with Princess Therese— there only have been twenty-five years in which the festival has not been held.

And that includes 2020.

In April, Markus Söder (Minister-President of Bavaria, Germany) and Dieter Reiter (mayor of Munich) jointly, sadly, announced the official cancellation of the 2020 Oktoberfest, citing the ongoing coronavirus pandemic: “The risks are simply too high.”

The last time Oktoberfest was canceled was seventy-two years ago, in 1948, due to post-war deprivation (temporarily replaced by a small-scale, small-beer celebration). Disease has cancelled Oktoberfest twice before, however: in 1854 and 1874, both because of European cholera epidemics.

If the festival had occurred this year, it would have begun on Saturday, 19 September, and concluded sixteen days later, on Sunday 4, October 2020.
