Oktoberfest 2014 Scenes, Straight from Germany

Oktoberfest 2014 kicked off on Saturday, September 20, when the mayor of Munich tapped keg number one. With an "O'zapft is!" (“It's tapped!”) and a cheer, all festival-goers proceeded to quench their own thirsts for Oktoberfest beer. And pretzels. And waffles. (With a disco nap or two tucked in somewhere.)

Photographer Peter Halvorsen was on the Munich scene for Yahoo Food, capturing the tastiest tidbits. Here are some of his shots from the festival, which lasts until October 5 (just in case these photos inspire you to book a last-minute ticket).
