Avastar: It's time for beer and dirndls!

BREAK out your beer steins, dirndls and lederhosen - Oktoberfest has hit the grid.

Virtual celebrations to mark the 175th running of the world famous Munich festival will take place until October 5 at the Marienhof at Munich City.

The first keg in the virtual beer tent was tapped on September 20, to begin two weeks of live concerts by some of Second Life's most outstanding artists. More than 10,000 visitors are expected to check out the virtual beer gardens during the festival.
