The History of Oktoberfest

The origins of Oktoberfest trace back to October 12, 1810, when Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) of Bavaria married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. To celebrate this royal union, a grand public horse race was organized in Munich. This event was so beloved by the people that it was decided to repeat the celebration the following year, thus beginning the annual tradition.

Over the years, Oktoberfest evolved into the colossal festival we know today. Traditional elements like beer tents, music, and food stalls were introduced, attracting people from all walks of life. While the horse races faded into history, the spirit of Oktoberfest endured, becoming the world's largest beer festival, as well as a celebration of Bavarian culture, featuring traditional attire, folk dances, and culinary delights.
