TRUTH !!
Although the world's largest annual fair is called "Oktoberfest", at least
nine, and as many as fifteen days, of the 16-day festival has to be held in
September. Since its inception in 1810 until German reunification in 1994,
Oktoberfest always ran for 16 days ending on the first Sunday in October.
Since 1994, the schedule has been modified so that if the first Sunday in
October happens to fall on the 1st or 2nd of the month, then the festival
carries on until the Monday. This was done to ensure that "German Unity
Day", October 3rd, always falls within the Oktoberfest festivities. The
traditional 16-day festival is therefore now extended by one or two days if
either of the first two days in October is a Sunday.
