That's not true. It's perfectly fine to have fun in Germany, as long as it doesn't disturb the neighbours and is propperly announced to the local authities two weeks in advance using form SVaF-18/1-42.

From what relatives there told me, Oktoberfest is basically mostly for foreigners at this point, most germans seem to prefer going to the less known festivals like Fruehlingsfest. Which is still fun so point stands

Most cities, towns and villages here in Germany have one or more annual festivals of some sort. They tend to be exploited less for tourist purposes and so locals generally prefer them to the kind where people from out of town or even out of the country would be a major part of it too.

i thought this too, because i don't like the Oktoberfest. but then i looked at the numbers:

Von zehn Besuchern kommen statistisch sechs aus München und dem Umland, einer aus dem übrigen Bayern, einer aus dem übrigen Deutschland und zwei aus dem Ausland.[75]

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest#Besucher

translated:

out of ten guests, 6 are from Munich or surrounding, 1 from the rest of Bavaria, 1 from the rest of Germany and 2 from abroad.

That's not true. We gather underground to have fun every other Wednesday at 18:30.

That's (18:30-12:00)PM for you Americans.

No need to worry. You have to be explicitly invited to the Stammtisch

Jokes on you, I have my devices set to military time (yes, that's what it's called).

Germans have lots of fun, it’s just that what they call fun, we call work.
