| Oktoberfest In Germany
AIN
Oktoberfest is the
world's largest funfair held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a
16-day festival running from late September to the first weekend in October
with more than 6 million people from around the world attending the event every
year. Locally, it is often simply called Wiesn, after the colloquial name of
the fairgrounds (Theresienwiese) themselves. The Oktoberfest is an important
part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the
world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the original Munich
event.
The Munich
Oktoberfest originally took place during the 16 days up to, and including, the
first Sunday in October. In 1994, the schedule was modified in response to
German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or
2nd, then the festival would go on until October 3 (German Unity Day). Thus,
the festival is now 17 days when the first Sunday is October 2 and 18 days when
it is October 1. In 2010, the festival lasted until the first Monday in
October, to mark the anniversary of the event.
The festival is held
in an area named the Theresienwiese (field, or meadow, of Therese), often
called Wiesn for short, located near Munich's center. Large quantities of
Oktoberfest Beer are consumed, with almost 7 million litres served during the
16 day festival in 2007. Visitors may also enjoy a mixture of attractions, such
as amusement rides, sidestalls and games, as well as a wide variety of
traditional food such as Hendl (roast chicken), Schweinebraten (roast pork),
Schweinshaxe (grilled ham hock), Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick),
Würstl (sausages) along with Brezen (pretzel), Knödel (potato or bread
dumplings), Käsespätzle (cheese noodles), Reiberdatschi (potato pancakes),
Sauerkraut or Rotkohl/Blaukraut (red cabbage) along with such Bavarian
delicacies as Obatzda (a spiced cheese-butter spread) and Weisswurst (a white
sausage)
