Oktoberfests
German autumn festivals
Oktoberfests are festivals modeled on Munich's annual beer celebration, held in late September through early October.
The original Oktoberfest began in 1810 to celebrate a Bavarian royal wedding and evolved into the world's largest folk festival.
Cities worldwide host their own Oktoberfests featuring German beer, food, and music: The brewery hosts one of the best Oktoberfests in the Midwest.
