In the city of Munich, Germany, crowds have gathered to take part in this festival which dates back 201 years, and leads up to German Unity Day, which falls on October third.
Originating in 1810, this Bavarian festival was first held to commemorate the wedding of Price Ludwig, to the Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. All of Munich was invited, and a glorious party was thrown in the fields just outside the palace gates, which were later named after the bride herself. As a part of the celebration, horse races were held, in part to entertain the royal family. The event was so well-received, that it was decided to do it all again the following year. With that, Oktoberfest was born.
Nowadays, Oktoberfest has become more about the people and the beer, and though the tradition originated in Munich, there are celebrations honoring the event all over the world, allowing millions of people the opportunity to share in the excitement. Though people can celebrate in their own way, anywhere they like, one thing you won't get it the authentic Munich flavor that really shines this time of year.
