GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Each year, Oktoberfest is celebrated in Munich, Germany, drawing over six million people each year to drink beer, eat food and enjoy games, music and dancing.

The festival, which originated in 1810, begins near the end of September and lasts two weeks, into October. Many American cities and towns have since adopted the tradition, holding their own Oktoberfest celebrations.
