  3. It all began with a wedding On October 12, 1810 Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. It was such a momentous occasion that a full five days after the wedding a great feast was held at the foot of the Sendlinger Tor

  4. From wedding reception to beer fest Originally the party consisted mainly of a feast, some speeches, and a horse race. Nevertheless, it quickly began to grow and within a decade of its inception both agricultural fairs and beer halls could be counted among the festival’s attractions

  5. So it’s my first Oktoberfest, what do I do? When it comes to Oktoberfest Germans, Bavarians in particular, invest heavily in tradition. However, this is more for the sake of fun and good humor rather than rigidity. Traditional peasant costumes like lederhosen inspire a laugh with me vibe. The tapping of the first keg is a near sacred event and is the official kick off of the festival

  6. Märzen From "March" in German. Originally a beer brewed in March and laid down in caves before the summer weather rendered brewing impossible. In Germany, this tradition has come to be associated with one specific style. Märzenbier has a malty aroma, and is a medium-strong version of the amber-red Vienna style. It is seasonal to the Oktoberfest, where it is offered as a traditional speciality alongside paler beers of a similar strength.

  7. I bet you’re hungry after all that beer and parading POTATO AND BEER SOUP BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT CARAMELIZED ONION PRETZEL ROLLS WITH CARAWAY SALT
