NEW YORK -- The changing seasons and cooling temperatures mean it's time for Oktoberfest.
The official two-week festival takes place every year in Munich, Germany. It starts at the end of September, when millions gather in large tents to drink beer, eat traditional German foods and celebrate.
But you don't have to travel abroad to take part, there are plenty of places raising a glass right here.
