Oktoberfest runs from Sept. 21 through Oct. 6 this year, so Lacey will begin celebrating a bit early. More than 6 million people attend its official annual celebration in Munich, Germany. Oktoberfest has been held since 1810 and is an important part of Bavarian culture.

There's also plenty of drinking. Beer consumption reached a record 7.5 million liters at the 16-day festival last year in Munich, according to Oktoberfest Tours.
