Oktoberfest is a traditional festival that has been held annually in Munich, Germany for over 200 years. It began as a celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810 and has since grown into one of the largest beer festivals in the world. The festival is held on the Theresienwiese in the center of Munich and is attended by millions of people each year who enjoy beer, food, rides and traditional Bavarian culture.
