"The organizer's plans for the event in Dubai, which have now been made public, are being carried out neither with the participation nor with the consent of the city of Munich," the statement added.
Clemens Baumgärtner, Munich Oktoberfest organizer said "We will explore all our legal options to protect Munich's Oktoberfest," he told German news agency dpa.
Organized by Charles Blume, who helps organize the Berlin Christmas market, as well as former Munich restaurateur Dirk Ippen, who now lives in Dubai, the event is yet to be confirmed.
We expect dozens of beer tents, food stands, attractions and rides. The event boasts a celebrity attendee lineup including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pamela Anderson.
