The Oktoberfest 2002
has ended!

5.9 Million people visited the Oktoberfest in Munich and consumed more than 5.7 Million liters of beer. The Oktoberfest 2002 again did live up to the expectations of the organizers and the visitors.

Now life is restored to normality and the remains of the famous fair are removed. We hope to see you again in 2003 - with more fun and gemutlichkeit than ever before.

Before these pretty girls had any beer at Oktoberfest.....

Beer and smiles go hand in hand at Oktoberfest in the Hofbrauhous
