An estimated five million people will be attending the Munich Oktoberfest in Beijing Olympic Park next week on August 15th.
Beijing Olympic Park is set for yet another exciting multicultural extravaganza on August 15th. The event?
Munich Oktoberfest will make a revival next week and will last for a whopping sixteen fun-filled days. Originating over 200 years ago, the annual Munich Oktoberfest has been known as the largest festival in the world--with an estimated average of six million people in attendance.

This will be the second year that Beijing will be participating in Munich Oktoberfest's tour, and the event is already packed with several exhilarating attractions.
For starters, Jike Junyi has confirmed that she will be making a musical appearance. In fact, the "Voice of China" third place winner is set to be a part of Munich Oktoberfest's opening ceremony. Performing alongside her will be rock star, Zheng Jun, and Black Panther (Hei Bao)--a fan favorite.
Of course, this also means that the world's largest single beer tent will be making an appearance as well--much to the delight of last year's attendees. With an incredible 11,000 square meters of space, the beer tent will serve as Munich Oktoberfest's stronghold and will be stocked with a wide selection of Germany's oldest, finest, and most delicious beers.
In addition to the concert, the beer tent itself will play a central part in the opening ceremony by making its grand entrance.
This year, Munich Oktoberfest plans to put a strong emphasis on German beer culture as a way of celebrating cultural identity--especially with two entirely different countries participating in the festival.
An estimated total of five million people are expected to take part in Munich Oktoberfest--and event organizers are well prepared for more. One festival volunteer had admitted that while there will be more than enough beer and food to supply to the masses, the event workers have already hatched an emergency food and beer plan.
