Photos: Gay Oktoberfest in Berlin

Gay Wiesn, the gay Oktoberfest party in Berlin, beat Munich's famed Oktoberfest by 12 days. The campy party will have boys in lederhosen and dirndls dancing until dawn every Monday through October 15.

Boys in traditional lederhosen and dirndl.

Tiaras are optional.

Shirts, too, are optional.

When the band leader says get up, you'd better get up on the benches.

The event is straight-friendly.

Partygoers without lederhosen could opt for the perennial gay bar favorite: tight T-shirts.

Traditional attire is encouraged, but modern technology is also welcome.
