Oktoberfest has been a German tradition since 1810. It was originally built to commemorate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess of Bavaria. This year, Bavarians were treated to days of beer, food and entertainment. Thanks to its huge success, the tradition continues. Oktoberfest begins in September and is a time to enjoy the company of friends old and new.
