Do you know the Bavarian festival?
Oktoberfest is a famous annual festival held in Munich, Germany, that celebrates Bavarian culture, especially beer. It typically runs in October and is the largest beer festival in the world. Although the main Oktoberfest takes place in Munich, many cities around the world host their own versions of the festival. The event attracts millions of visitors every year, offering a fun combination of German culture, food, and drink.
Oktoberfest originated in Munich, Germany, in 1810. The festival was first held to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The citizens of Munich were invited to join in the festivities, which included horse races held in the fields in front of the city gates. The event was so successful that it became an annual tradition, with various entertainment and agricultural shows added over time. By the late 19th century, beer began to play a central role in the celebration. Today, it is the world’s largest beer festival, attracting millions of visitors from all over the globe to Munich each year.
Now, this festive spirit is coming to Buda Castle until the 31st of October. The festival will feature a variety of traditional Bavarian foods, such as pretzels, sausages, and of course, a wide selection of authentic beers. But it doesn’t stop there—special Hungarian treats like pálinka tasting will add a local twist to the celebration.
On October 18, live music from Szomori Fiúk band will set the stage for a memorable experience filled with joyful songs and a festive mood. The event’s signature décor will transport guests straight to Bavaria, ensuring that everyone feels part of the Oktoberfest magic.
The Bavarian festival promises to bring Bavarian culture vibes, with authentic food, beer, and music to Buda Castle. So, get ready to raise your stein and immerse yourself in the world’s most iconic festival, Oktoberfest!
