What is Oktoberfest?

It's only the largest festival in the world!


Oktoberfest started in 1810 as a party celebrating Crown prince and princess of Bavaria and turned into a five day event. Ever since then Oktoberfest is held in Munich, Germany with approximately 6 million people attending a week long festival partaking in German food, music, and of course, pretzels and beer. All of the major German beer makers construct huge temporary beer halls where live bands play all day and you can drink their famous brews. Even with all of the beer, Oktoberfest is a family friendly event. There are games, amusement rides, and live bands to dance to to make sure everyone has a good time.
