A traditional beer festival founded in Southern Germany, Oktoberfest has become 'the' party phenomenon on practically every continent since its inception nearly 200 years ago.
In 1810, a long-lasting wedding celebration of the Bavarian Prince Ludwig and his bride Therese took place in an enormous meadow in Munich; to mark the end of the festivities, all of Bavaria was invited to witness a majestic horse racing competition.
Modern times have brought about many changes. The horse races have since disappeared, and the farm show only occurs every few years, but the 'Spirit of Oktoberfest' is still very much alive.
