Germany's Oktoberfest beer extravaganza, scheduled to bring together hundreds of thousands of people from September 18 to October 3 in Munich, has been canceled for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Euro News website reports today (May 3, 2021).
The health situation remains too uncertain for the "most comprehensive gathering of all" to be held in the autumn, Bavarian Minister-President Markus Soder said at a press conference.
Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter described the announcement as "bitter" but said that "it certainly does not come as a surprise to most."
