The 2016 Oktoberfest kicked off last week in Munich.

The festival runs for two weeks and attracts more than 6 million visitors every year, making it the biggest beer festival in the world. And while recent terror attacks in Germany may have put some people off, it seems that there are still huge crowds partying in the many beer tents.

Tourists and celebrities endured heavy rain and heightened security to enjoy some of the finest beers Europe has to offer.
