Largest Oktoberfest Around The World
Oktoberfest is now celebrated in many countries around the world.  The largest festival is in Munich, Germany but Canada generally is regarded as having the second largest at Kitchener-Waterloo.  Third is probably Blumenau, Brazil.  Fouth and fifth are the Cinncinati and Denver Oktoberfests.  While Munich has the largest festival, the Rio Carnival in February comes in second for overall size of world festival events.

Festival Gone Wrong:  Darwin Infinity Music Festival
Sorry folks but if you bought tickets to the upcoming Darwin Infinity Music Festival you are probably out of luck.  Appears that Dene Mussilon, the shows organizer, is now believed to be a con artist.  Take a look at the Megan Palin article Darwin Infinity Music Festival collapses after fraudster exposed.
