This is quite a signal from the Bavarian premier, Markus Söder. Cancelling the Oktoberfest is a big deal, but the health risks were found to outweigh the politics - and it feels like the right decision to me. 1/10

The Wies’n, as it’s known here, is such an important part of Munich’s cultural life that it’s influence is impossible to overstate. It begins in September, & concludes on the first Sunday of October (with occasional extentions for public holidays), & normally lasts 16 days 2/10
