The Oktoberfest this year officially stands cancelled amid Covid-19 outbreak. However, highly-regulated celebrations got underway on a much smaller scale over the weekend.
The event this year will include 50 of Munich's beer halls and other establishments host their own smaller parties keeping safety protocols in mind.
Under the shadows of Covid-19, the muted celebrations will run until the 4th of October marked by the absence of huge tents and food stalls.
