When you’re in the mood to eat Bavarian pretzels, drink Hefeweizen and be merry, you may be anticipating Oktoberfest season.
Oktoberfest began as a wedding celebration more than 200 years ago when Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on Oct. 12, 1810. The wedding was celebrated with multiple days of drinking, feasting and horse races. The celebration then became an annual event.
