Oktoberfest Beer Festival

Oktoberfest Beer Festival

 Oktoberfest Beer Festival is the world largest beer festival. It is held from late September to the first weekend in October. More than 5 million people attend it. This is quite huge scale!!!! This festival started since 1810 which means it has more than 200 years history.

This festival started to honor the marriage of Prince Ludwig in 1810 adding musical festival. Since then, it is developed as a national festival in Germany being supported by Munich's 6 major beer company.

 The main event of this festival is divided into three points: A music festival, Costume parade, Drinking beer. The first day of this festival, people parade wearing various customs like queen or king. Pub which were made of tent was built at the same time. This pub can accommodate more than 3000 people. After that, the mayor of Munich declares opening by showing the first beer of that year.

I think the interesting thing about this festival is beers which made in Munich only can be provided.

A lot of people wear German traditional clothes because it's a traditional festival of Germany. Aren't they cute? I want to wear them!!

 People hold the beers! They were act like "Cheers!" I love beers as well. So I really want to participate than any other festivals. Also I found a interesting video in Youtube. People participate in this festival are singing "country roads." Everybody seems to be very funny and happy. I attached this video because I love this song as well. Look how they enjoy the festival.

If you want to drink all day long and have fun with thousands of people you should go Oktoberfest Beer Festival!!!
