Something raised during Oktoberfest

Answer:

BEERTENT

Hint:

Think of a large, temporary shelter where crowds gather to enjoy frothy drinks and lively music in Munich. It’s not just a table—it’s a whole structure!

Explanation:

Oktoberfest is famous for its massive beer tents where crowds gather to celebrate, so "something raised" hints at the temporary structures set up for the festival. The answer plays on the literal meaning of "raised" (like pitching a tent) while also nodding to the lively atmosphere inside them. "Beertent" combines "beer" (the drink central to Oktoberfest) with "tent" (the structure itself), making it a straightforward but clever fit.
