Oktoberfest, the biggest festival in the world, is set to rock Manila on the weekend of October 17 and 18. The action happens at the Sofitel Harbor Garden Tent. This year's celebration hopes to equal, if not surpass, last year's record where about 4,000 guests drank 30,000 liters of beer, consumed 1000 kilograms of sausages and 300 kilos of pork knuckles...in just two days!

Its greatest attraction is its lineup of DJs and live bands. Among those who have played in recent weeks were Up Dharma Down, Wolfgang, Rico Blanco & Kamikazee.
