It's that time in the year again when Germany plays to the German cliche of lederhose and beer... Oktoberfest!Despite it's name, Oktoberfest is actually held from the 3rd week of September until the first week of October. This year, it will be on 17th Sep until the 3rd of Oct.

If you plan on donning your lederhose and downing beer by the liter, check out the official oktoberfest2005 site for tips on parking, accommodations (from hotels to camping grounds) and tent reservations.

Have fun and try not to become a Bierdimpfe! hehe
