History and Origin of Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest, one of the largest folk celebrations in the world, originated in Munich, Germany and is typically celebrated from mid-September to the first Sunday in October. This event traces its roots back to 1810, and has been an integral part of Munich’s cultural landscape ever since.
Horse racing, massive beer tents, live music, and lively parades featuring marching bands and traditional dance troupes are just a few of the festivities at Oktoberfest. The occasion also serves up an impressive spread of traditional Bavarian favourites, such as bratwurst, schnitzel sausages, apple strudel, pretzels and spaetzle. Attendees also dress up in traditional Bavarian attire, adding to the festive spirit of this joyous gathering.
Today, Oktoberfest is celebrated in different countries, thanks to its vibrant and lively charm that attracts participants from all corners of the world.
