Octoberfest is objectively the worst German festival. Literally every tiny town has a better one at a time of year that is actually appropriate for wearing Trachten without freezing to death. Also, better headwear.
IMO Oktoberfest gets the attention because Americans who don't actually know anything about Europe but want to vacation there are all like "hey let's go to Germany for Oktoberfest and drink like fish!"
