Oktoberfest O’zapft is! With these words the Oktoberfest is opened every year by the mayor of Munich—meaning the first beer barrel has been tapped. The tradition of the Oktoberfest in Munich harks back to October 1810, when the marriage of the Bavarian crown prince was celebrated with a horse race and a folk festival. The festival was continued, and by the late 19th century became the festival we know today. To profit from warmer weather, its start was moved to September, ending in the first week of October. Today, in over 30 tents, Munich’s traditional beer breweries serve specially brewed beer, and specialties like Brathendl (grilled chicken) and Brezn (large pretzels) are served. Outside, attractions like carousels and roller coasters await. Join the VFG at the “Wiesn” (as the festival ground, the Theresienwiese, is called locally) as we show our best Oktoberfest-look dirndl dresses and skirts, dirndl cardigans, fringed scarves, bandanas, lederhosen, felt hats, the right things to go underneath like lace-edged petticoats, shapewear for that décolletage, matching jewelry and anything featuring alpine flowers like Edelweiss—and of course anything beer-related!
