Yes, but not like the movie.

Aside from Oktoberfest, the most famous one (which actually takes place in mid-September), there's a big international beer festival in Berlin every year: http://www.bierfestival-berlin.de/index.php?idcat=24

There are also lots of regional wine festivals.

Yes, in my town it's called a Bier-Boerse and all kinds of differents beers are offered during that time...from light to dark, German to foreign...people are out on the street tasting different beers, having fun...it's a great Beer-fest!

Yes, but mosty in Bavaria. Oktoberfest is in Late September but mostly for tourists. Where I live they celebrate many occasions
a beer fest. There is Oktoberfest, Starkbierfest or Maibock, Pfingstfest, Waldfest, Seefest, and Herbstfest to name a few.
Starkbierfest or Maibock, is a special time in the spring where the breweries brew a special strong beer for a short time. Pfingstfest
celebrates the Catholic Pentacost. Waldfest is put on in local
towns in the summer, wald means Forest. Seefest is also in Summer in towns with a lake, see means lake in german. Herbstfest is much like oktoberfest but in the local towns. It
celebrates the end of the harvest. In Bavaria they call oktoberfest,
Wiessen. Hope this helped!

Yes.

Perhaps you should consider starting your homework a bit earlier and doing a bit of real research rather than asking silly questions at the last minute in public forums.

Well after you get an A on your paper, you should apply to the University of Munich, they actually have a massive degree program in beer making...It is part of their life and culture...it is not that big a deal to them.

There are no beer fests.
There are October fests though.
Throughout the World Cup there were also Fan fests.

If you're talking about the movie Beerfest, then no... I don't think so. If you are refering to Oktoberfest (which is actually in September) then yes. It is a celebration to celebrate the end of the harvest after a long summer of hard work farming. There is a plethora of beer, and variety of foods (beets, potatoes, sausages, cabbages, etc.).

Yes, each village celebrates in its own manner. Like in OctoberFest here ,they dress in costumes and enjoy.

Beerfest is a secret!

No one knows about it, and if they do, they don't talk about it!

Yes the Oktoberfest is held in late September.

Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September and early October. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year. Other cities across the world also hold fairs, modeled after the Munich event, also called Oktoberfest or Bierfest.
