Your Imagery Work Break – 2024 Oktoberfest

We love maps.

We love imagery.

We love work breaks.

We hope you like them as well!

Grab a pint or a pumpkin spice latte and settle in for a tale this spooky season about Oktoberfest in Munich, an event that happens to be the world’s largest celebration of Bavarian culture. Each year, millions of visitors travel the world to celebrate Oktoberfest. The festival is held at Theresienwiese, where it has taken place since the fairgrounds opened in 1810. The 2024 festival featured a few new changes as well as many tried and true traditions.

In 2025, the 190th Oktoberfest will take place from September 20 to October 5. The beer price for Oktoberfest 2025 is between 14.50 Euros and 15.80 Euros, an average of 3.52% more than in the previous year. Last year, the price range was between 13.60 Euros and 15.30 Euros. For those who attend Oktoberfest in Munich, there are parades, live music, special foods, a wreath-laying ceremony and more.

For this month’s Imagery Work Break, we feature a color, 30-centimeter WorldView-3 image collected over Oktoberfest 2024 in Munich on September 25th. In this image, you can see the colorful tent from above, along with the people who love celebrating the event. And if you want to compare this colorful WorldView-3 data to imagery collected in the past, we have featured Oktoberfest in Munich many times as you can see in the link here!

Have a great rest of your workday! 😊
