I spent about a third of my Army career (1987-2007) stationed in West Germany, then Germany. I've been to Oktoberfest in Munich many times, and to the opening day parade in September at least twice. Oktoberfest starts in September because of the calendar change a few centuries ago--back then it was in October. Personally, I don't drink; I came for the atmosphere and the amusement park rides. I've been to several shows at the Munich beerhalls too, such as at the Hofbrau Haus and the Platzl.
