Oktoberfest being a well loved and visited folk festival has a variety of fun things to do. What does your character do while there?

Are they there for the opening ceremony where the Mayor taps the first keg of beer? Do they place bets on how many taps it takes the Mayor? Do they watch the parade consisting of decorated horse drawn wagons, musical and marching bands, traditional-costume and rifle clubs, and color guard flag-wavers? Is your character there to compete in the annual Steinholding competition? Where competitors hold a filled stein with an outstretched arm for as long as they can. Do they participate in a drinking competition? Ride on the Ferris wheel? See a theatre play? People-watch? Are they there to try exotic food? Maybe they’re workers at Oktoberfest, and serve patrons from all over? Or are they just there simply for a beer?
