Germany’s iconic folk festival, the annual Oktoberfest is returning with its classic beer tents, oompah bands, and a scrumptious spread of sausages, pretzels, and pork knuckles. First held in 1810 to mark a royal wedding, it has now evolved into the world’s biggest beer festival, attracting a whooping six million visitors each year. Visitors are invited to dress in traditional Bavarian attire, or Tracht and partake in the food, fun, and music on Theresienwiese open ground.

Mad Cool Festival, Madrid (6 July to 8 July):
Major music festival Mad Cool has made a name for itself by bringing together the finest line-up of rock, indie, and alternative artistes for an unforgettable summer in Madrid. This year is no exception, with big names such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lizzo, Robbie Williams, Sam Smith, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Nas X, The Black Keys, and more headlining the three-day long event. Joining the star-studded line-up are critically acclaimed DJ Jamie xx, English pop rock band The 1975, viral indie-pop artist Rina Sawayama, and many more. With these huge artistes in tow, this year’s festival promises nights of electrifying fun and unforgettable music.

Art lovers can rejoice as well, for Frieze London will once again transform Regent’s Park into a showcase of some of the world’s best contemporary art and living artists.

The fair will certainly be a feast for the eyes for art connoisseurs and those simply looking to bask in the culture and vibes of the city alike.
