Did you know this about Oktoberfest?
The first Oktoberfest festival took place on 12 October 1810. That was when Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony Hildburghausen. Citizens of Munich were invited to attend festivities in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. Traditionally, the Oktoberfest celebration begins in the third weekend of September and ends on the first Sunday of October.
