オクトーバーフェストの歴史
Oktoberfest is one of the most well-known celebrations in the world, yet not many people are familiar with its origins. Its annual festival in Munich, Germany, is held over a two-week period and ends on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated in 1810, in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The future king then invited the entire city to attend a celebration and feast, which began on October 12th and culminated on October 17th with a horse race, thus establishing an annual tradition. Today, Oktoberfest is a celebration of German culture, food, and (you guessed it) beer. The only beer served at events comes from the original six breweries in Munich, and the celebration begins with the mayor tapping the keg in as few swings of the hammer as possible. Besides the food and beer, people flock to the festival to enjoy traditional Bavarian music, open-air performances, parades, vendor tents, and clothing such as Dirndls and Lederhosen.
