Businesses there are feeling the strain from canceling the 16-day event.
Miguel Florencio/ABC NewsAt The 4You Hostel, just one subway stop north of the Oktoberfest grounds, Philipp Freund, who works there as a clerk, says 2020 brought extreme financial challenges, and he didn't know if the business was going to survive.
"A lot of months you don't really make that much money. Most hotels survive solely because of the Oktoberfest, so when the Oktoberfest doesn't take place, it's a big problem," said Freund. He said that his team is exploring different health and safety protocols so the event can return safely next year.
