History of the Oktoberfest Festival
The history of the Oktoberfest festival is very interesting, the first festival was held on October 12, 1810 in honor of the celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Bavaria Ludwig and Princess Teresa von Saxen - Hiljüburghausen.
The walks lasted 5 days, the next year the holiday was repeated, and then it became traditional.
The name of the festival comes from the name of the month "October", but the event usually takes place in September, because at that time it is easier to hold a celebration, because in September it is much warmer and the celebration can go on day and night.
The festival does not have a stable date, Oktoberfest begins annually in mid-September on Saturday in the German city of Munich on the Terezin Meadow - this is a large area that has a length of 26 hectares, so that everyone can fit it. Walking lasts about 15 days, although it can last.
