In Munich, the 189th Oktoberfest begins this Sunday, September 21st, with over six million visitors expected. Following recent attacks in Germany, police have announced heightened security at the festival. Visitors will notice stricter rules at the gates, including a ban on bags larger than three liters, glass bottles, and dangerous items like knives and tools. Security measures will include metal detectors, 600 police officers on patrol, and surveillance cameras throughout the festival grounds. A Safe Space tent is also available for anyone needing assistance or medical help. Although Germany legalized cannabis this year, it will be banned at Oktoberfest. Violators may face fines between 500 and 1,500 euros.
