- A sizable German/Austrian immigrant population -- Oktoberfest is a German festival, so it makes sense that descendants of German immigrants would be more apt to celebrate Oktoberfest.
- Large and accessible public parks and fairgrounds -- Oktoberfest is celebrated outside and underneath the cover of large tents. Public park space and fairgrounds will help provide room for the celebration.
- A culture that is conducive to beer drinking -- a good Oktoberfest city should ideally have a great craft brew scene. Often, craft brewers make some great Märzen (the Oktoberfest beer) for organized Oktoberfest celebrations.
- Great police involvement -- a police department that is able to keep people safe while allowing the celebrations to go on really helps the enjoyment for all concerned.
