The festivities begin September 18 and continue until Oktoberfest ends on October 3, 2010.
But on Saturday, September 18th, the Schottenhamel tent is the place to be, here you can watch the official opening ceremonies.
At noontime, the lord mayor of Munich will have the honor of tapping the first keg of Oktoberfest beer.
Once the barrel has been tapped, all visitors will be allowed to quench their thirst.
