The Oktoberfest should have started this Saturday. Wiesn fan Veronica Ferres is also disappointed because of the corona-related cancellation.
This year's Oktoberfest in Munich should have started on Saturday (September 19) at exactly 12:00 noon. Due to the corona pandemic, however, the traditional "O'zapft is" falls into the water – which fans worldwide regret. Including actress Veronica Ferres (55, "Klimt"). On social media, she mourns the canceled Oktoberfest, but is also understanding.
"Today would have been the start of the Oktoberfest! Normally a must on my calendar, this year there is only one look at my photos," writes the German actress on Instagram and posts three pictures that show her in a dirndl. At the same time, Ferres explains that she understands the cancellation and supports the decision. It is good "that we are not dancing on the tables this year". "We are in an unprecedented situation where we don't have to mourn our liter of beer." The beer "also tastes good next time".
Oktoberfest 2020 was planned for September 19 to October 4. But in April, Prime Minister Markus Söder (53, CSU) announced in a press release that the risk due to the corona pandemic was too great. "Keeping your distance is simply not possible," Söder said at the time.
