The largest Oktoberfest in the world, known by the locals as ‘The Wiesn’ is located in Munich, Germany.  When times are normal more than six million visitors gather for the 16 days of festivities, to celebrate and enjoy all the wonders of German tradition, beer and the cuisine. The feast takes place in an area called Theresienweise, which means the Meadow of Therese.

The origin of Oktoberfest started in 1810, when Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on Oktober 12th.  He threw a party and invited all Bavarians to join in the celebration. The party became an annual event known simply as Oktoberfest.  Yearly the feast takes place in an area called Theresienweise, which means the Meadow of Therese.

When Prince Ludwig married in October 1810, he threw a party and invited all Bavarians to join in the celebration. The party became an annual event known simply as Oktoberfest.

However, with warmer temperatures in September making for a better party atmosphere, the event was pushed back into September, ending on the first Sunday of Oktober to keep the name in place. Septemberfest just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Prost!
