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:
