OKTOBERFEST

Oktoberfest began as a wedding celebration. In the fall of 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria was married. The celebration continued for two weeks and the idea of it has lasted for almost 200 years!

While most people associate Oktoberfest with lots of beer drinking, it’s always been a carnival-like celebration in Germany. There are rides and games and Munich holds the annual poster contest (an idea we’ve borrowed!)

join in the fun!
See your friends and neighbors -
and maybe even you!
