Germany’s 176th Oktoberfest is underway, with six-million visitors from around the world expected at the 16-day beer festival. Oktoberfest is our kind of festival. It combines some of our favorite things in life: beer, food, and cleavage. In honor of the later, we have put together a gallery of the hottest girls of Oktoberfest, sporting their “Dirndl” – traditional dress. For those of you who want to know about the festival and the beer, we provide the following link to Wikipedia. The rest of you can get to the reason you came here:

Oktoberfest, 2009
The 176th Oktoberfest started on Saturday the 19th, kicked off by Munich Mayor Christian Ude, tapping the first keg with a cry of "O'zapft is!". With predictions of over 6 million visitors heading to Munich, the festival runs until October 4th. This year, a traditional liter of beer will cost visitors about 8 euros (11.75 dollars). And new this year: Oktoberfest iPhone apps, including a dictionary, ordering assistant and a blood-alcohol calculator. Collected here are a few photographs from the first couple of days of Oktoberfest 2009. (31 photos total)
