[edit] Cannstatter Volksfest?

Living in Stuttgart next to the Cannstatter Wasen fairgrounds, I thought that the Cannstatter Volksfest was the second largest Oktoberfest in the world. In 2006 it had 4.2 million visitors. Can somebody find out if the Hannover one really is bigger? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.5.76 (talk) 19:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- Yes, the Canstatter Volksfest is bigger (4.2 million | Hannover 1.2 Million). But the Oktoberfest Hannover is actually named Oktoberfest, while the Cannstatter Volksfest is not, and therefore doesn't really qualify. I'd still mention it on this page though, as it is similair. (Biggest Volksfest in Hanover is the Schützenfest with 2.5 million visitors, but it's not an Oktoberfest either). Squig 12:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
