00:00Oktoberfest began on Saturday in Germany, revelers marking the official opening of the world's largest folk festival.
00:07About 6 million visitors are expected to attend during the combined, I think, two weeks of Oktoberfest.
00:1618 large tents covering the fairgrounds.
00:18Now prices are running between 13.60 euros and 15.30 euros for a big mug of beer, up nearly 4% than last year.
00:27The festival runs through October 6th, and here's what some revelers had to say.
00:31I'm looking forward to the atmosphere, the excitement, the beer, just having a great time with our friends.
00:41Well, you get to wear the dirndl, and the atmosphere, the moths, the people, friends, the rides, the whole atmosphere.
00:51Lots of beer, lots of pretzels, German sausage, lots of fun. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
