It's always rubbed me the wrong way that Oktoberfest doesn't happen in October OR the 8th month.

[–] Prof_Eibe@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

thats because the roman year started in march and october was the 8th month in their calendar.

Naw, its cause it used to start in october but they moved it to september for better weather.

Oktoberfest ends in October.
