A visitor walks to the opening day of the 2016 Oktoberfest beer festival at Theresienwiese on September 17, 2016 in Munich, Germany. The 2016 Oktoberfest is taking place under heightened security due to fears over international terrorism. The fest will be open to the public through October 3.
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.
