Do you know what the biggest festival in the world is? The answer is “The Oktoberfest” in Munich which is the city in Germany. It is a famous beer festival, and usually held for 16 days- the final day is the first Sunday of October. In this year 2008, it took place from September 20 until October 5. Every year, about 6 million people visit there.
This festival comes from the horse racing at Theresienwiese in Munich to celebr
ate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Since then, Theresienwiese has become a place where the festival has been held. Its area is very large- about 42 hectares, so there are a lot of huge tents of beer halls which can accommodate about 4000-6000 people. However, not all organizations can build their beer halls. Only breweries in Munich can build. Participants not only drink beers, but also eat a lot of foods there- sausages, cheese noodles, roast pork, potato pancakes and so on.
Of course, the main thing in this festival is beer! The beers drunk there are brewed in March and stocked during summer. These beers go down so easily that people drink them at a fast pace. Every year, 5 million liters are consumed. It is a large amount of beers, isn't it?
Now, many festivals like the Oktoberfest are held all over the world- Canada, America, Brazil, Australia, and Hong Kong. In Japan, they take place in Tokyo, Yokohama and Sendai. Especially, the festival in Yokohama is visited by many people.
The Oktoberfest is very lively, so you will enjoy if you join this festival! When you become 20 years old, you can have a good experience.
