Oktoberfest







Oktoberfest is the largest Voksfest (Peoples fair), in the world. This is a 17 day festival held in Munich each year and is Germany's most famous event with over 6 million visitors. Munich is the Beer Capitol of the world and was on our 'to-do' list for some time. The fair-grounds are massive with 14 huge tents holding up to 10,000 people each. Each tent is named after one of the different large brewery's. These reservations are incredibly hard to get but our German friends came through for us. These are 3 pictures taken in the "Hippodrom" tent which we had a Saturday reservation from 3 PM to 6 PM. The German girl serving us could sure carry a load of jugs, Oh I mean mugs.
