Oktoberfest likely canceled due to outbreak

With events banned until the end of August, the Oktoberfest could escape the lockdown. But although slated to start September 19, officials say it's "unlikely" the world's biggest beer festival will happen this year.

From music festivals to major sporting events, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a wave of unprecedented event cancellations around the world and it looks like Germany's Oktoberfest is no exception.
 
Germany's latest lockdown measures now include a ban on major public events until August 31.

Although Oktoberfest is due to start after the current cut-off, Bavaria's state premier said the festival will probably not take place this year.
