Munich's Oktoberfest, the world's largest folk festival, kicked off today with Mayor Dominik Krause (Greens) tapping the first keg and crying 'O'zapft is' at 12:00 noon. This marks Krause's first Oktoberfest as mayor, and he handed the first liter of beer to Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder (CSU). The festival runs until October 4, with around six million visitors expected. Security has been beefed up following last year's overcrowding issues, including AI-assisted cameras to detect large crowds and a new coordination center.
