Where to go for Oktoberfest

Greetings Germans,

Me and my friends were planning on going to Germany to celebrate Oktoberfest.

But after doing some research i found that most 'big' parties are generally tourist traps with high prices.

I was wondering if i could probe the knowledge of the German reddit community when it comes to cities, days, parties and bars.

Where to go and what to do? To get a genuine local experience..

Thanks 😊
