When will Oktoberfest 2010 take place?

On Saturday, September 18th, the Schottenhamel tent is the place to be,
if you want to catch the official opening ceremonies. At noontime, 12pm,
the lord mayor of Munich will have the honor of tapping the first keg
of Oktoberfest beer. Once the barrel has been tapped, all visitors will
then be allowed to quench their thirst. It pays to arrive early in order
to experience the festivities up close and personal and it's quite
common for visitors to come around 9am to secure good seats. The
festival will last until October 3th, 2010.
