Oktoberfest
We are in the middle of September and for the inhabitants of Munich, this means that it's Oktoberfest time. Other than the name might suggest, the Oktoberfest begins in September and ends in October.
This year, however, there is no Oktoberfest. It was cancelled a few months ago, which makes 2020 the first year without it since World War II. It is a big loss for the city's economy, as the extra turnover brought by the Oktoberfest directly and by the spendings of the Oktoberfest tourists indirectly reached one billion Euros in the past few years. Of course, all the party folks will miss it, too. What is even worse, the city government has banned the consumption of alcohol on a few public squares due to the rising number of Covid infections and complaints of residents. Still a few months ago, banning alcohol consumption in Bavaria was as unthinkable as banning burger eating in Macdonald's.
One man's sorrow is another man's joy. One of my friends lives not too far away from the Oktoberfest's epicenter. She is happy that this year, she doesn't have to look out for what we call beer corpses and puke pizzas on her way to work.

"party folks" is okay, but it's not really a commonly used term so I think "partygoers" may be a better option.
What is even worse, is that the city government has banned the consumption of alcohol oin a few public squares due to the rising number of Covid infections and complaints of residents.
