Oktoberfest 2023: A party for beer and tradition with more security.

Oktoberfest, the world's biggest folk festival, has started in Munich, Germany. The mayor opened the festival by tapping the first keg of beer, and thousands of people cheered.

This year, Oktoberfest is happening from September 16th to October 6th. People from all over the world come to drink beer, eat food, and have fun.

There is a lot of security at Oktoberfest this year because of a bad thing that happened in another city. The police are checking everyone with metal detectors to make sure the festival is safe.

A liter of beer at Oktoberfest costs between 13 and 15 euros, which is a little more expensive than last year. Even though it's expensive, many people think it's worth it to experience the festival.

Oktoberfest started in 1810 as a wedding celebration for a prince and princess. Now, it happens every year and is a really big party that many people look forward to.
