While we start spooky season Germany is about to kick off the Octoberfest!
The world-famous beer festival is held annually in Munich, spanning a little over 2 weeks. During the festival, millions of people from around the world come together to celebrate Bavarian culture, enjoy traditional food and, of course, indulge in beer.
The heart of Octoberfest lies in its beer tents. There are several large and smaller tents, each with its unique atmosphere and sometimes even its own brewery.
Traditional foods include freshly baked soft pretzels and a type of white sausage served with sweet mustard.
Live music, dancing and singing, parades featuring horse-drawn beer wagons, marching bands and the amusement park area making it family friendly are all part of this memorable event.
Many attendees, both locals and visitors wear traditional Bavarian clothing. For men, this is often Lederhosen (leather breeches), while women wear dirndls, which consists of a bodice, blouse, skirt, and apron.
The Octoberfest is a celebration of culture, camaraderie, and a good cheer attracting people from all over the world to partake in this lively event.
