Oktoberfest 2014

Categories: Holidays and Festivals

The tradition of celebrating Oktoberfest is a little over 200 years old - in 1810 the celebration took place for the first time in honor of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig. Since then, the festival has grown into customs that are almost always carried out with the rigor of a ritual. For example, the holiday is considered open only after the owners of the beer tents march through the city streets in a solemn procession, and the mayor of Munich personally uncorks the first barrel of beer.

In addition to traditional treats and fairground carousels, Oktoberfest is known for its recognizable colorful paraphernalia. For example, both waitresses in tents and festival guests often prefer Bavarian dirndls (a blouse with a corset, a wide skirt and an apron) and lederhoses (short leather pants with suspenders) to ordinary clothes. For children and for those who are interested in a holiday, but not particularly interested in beer, a non-alcoholic drink is served in huge beer mugs.

At the same time, people in costumes are found not only on Theresienwiese Meadow, where the main festival takes place, but also on the streets of Munich and at the airport, where the concentration of tourists is especially high.

At the Oktoberfest, the police and the Red Cross are constantly on duty, the former are responsible for the order and absence of pickpockets, the latter collect the so-called "beer corpses" in their tent, where people who have gone over with alcohol can recover.
