Oktoberfest originated in Germany. In October of 181, it was a grand celebration to celebrate the wedding of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Hills of Saxony. Since then, Oktoberfest has been preserved as a traditional folk festival in Bavaria. Since then, the people have continued this warm mood and held this activity year after year.
The three most famous Oktoberfest festivals in the world are the Oktoberfest in London, England, the Oktoberfest in Denver, USA and the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. They are well-known abroad and praised by beer experts in Europe and America as a carnival that every beer lover should go to at least once.

The origin of Oktoberfest
[ Edit this paragraph ]
Oktoberfest originated in Germany, with a history of more than 1 years. There are generally two versions of its origin. First, in 181, Prince Lourdes of Malawi got married and held a horse race. After the horse race, people drank beer to celebrate. After this celebration, it became today's Oktoberfest. There is also a saying that local farmers drank beer to celebrate the bumper harvest of barley and hops.
In p>181, the crown prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Teresa got married in October of that year, and the official celebration lasted for five days. People gathered on the big lawn outside Munich, singing, dancing, watching horse races and drinking beer. Since then, this popular activity has been continued and spread to this day, and it has been fixed as Oktoberfest from the third Saturday in September to the first Sunday in October every year. As of 24, except for the interruption due to war and cholera, the Oktoberfest in Munich has been held for 17 times.
Oktoberfest in China
Since there was beer in China, people in China also knew about Munich. Even some beer advertisements say this: very Germany, very Germany!
China Oktoberfest first started in Qingdao in 1991, and has been held for 16 times this year. Dalian "China International Beer Festival" was also held for 8 sessions; Harbin Oktoberfest has been held for four times, and the rest are Yanjing Oktoberfest, Xi 'an Oktoberfest, Tianjin Oktoberfest, etc. A hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. The domestic Oktoberfest is held in July and August, which belongs to the summer and the peak season of beer sales, so everyone has to scramble to show their faces frequently, and the contents of each Oktoberfest are varied.
Oktoberfest in Denver, USA
As a multi-ethnic country, German immigrants who came to the United States naturally brought the tradition of Oktoberfest to America, and then people of other ethnic groups used it as an excuse to participate in this traditional German festival and drink beer. Three-day tickets vary from $3 to $5 according to different activities. The price of buying a three-day pass is $145, which is $2 less than buying a daily ticket alone. If you apply for membership on its official website, you can get an additional discount of $2 on the basis of the ordinary ticket of $145.
Oktoberfest in London, England
Oktoberfest in London, England began in 1978 and will be held again in the Olympia Exhibition Hall in west London in 25. Britain is another big beer country besides Germany, and west London is the center of British beer, so now it has been hailed as "the largest pub in the world". At that time, you will taste a wide range of beers with different tastes, and even be unique, such as spiced beer with heather and flavored beer with honey and bananas. All drinks are made by hand in small workshops, and most of them are produced in Britain. Single-day tickets range from 6 pounds to 7 pounds, and the pass is 17.5 pounds.
Oktoberfest custom
[ Edit this paragraph ]
The Oktoberfest in Munich is famous not only because it is the largest folk carnival in the world, but also because it completely retains the folk style and customs of Bavaria. People transport beer in gorgeous carriages, drink in huge beer tents, and enjoy folk songs and intoxicating love songs played by Bavarian brass bands. People taste delicious food at the Oktoberfest, but also hold a series of colorful entertainment activities, such as horse racing, shooting, juggling, various recreational activities, drama performances, national concerts and so on. People not only add festive atmosphere to festivals, but also fully show their national enthusiasm, boldness and vitality.
On the morning of the first day of the festival, parades from Bavaria, other German states, Austria, Switzerland and France gathered together. People dressed in colorful national costumes and traditional ancient costumes, led by the magnificent and colorful carriages of the mayor of Munich and the owner of the winery, flocked to the Delis grassland in a mighty and majestic way. At 12 noon, with the 12-gun salute, drums and music were played together, colorful flags were flying and voices were boiling. After making a short speech, the mayor opened the first barrel of beer, and the Oktoberfest kicked off with boiling cheers. At this time, the beer girl in traditional clothes kept sending fresh beer to the eager drinkers with a single-ear goblet. Many Bavarians wearing buckskin shorts, vests and other national costumes walked through the street with beer cups in their hands. They shouted "cheers" to everyone, and the atmosphere was very lively.
In early October, Munich was slightly cool in autumn, and the whole street was decorated with colorful lights. In the festival square, there are hundreds of tents of various sizes. The goods sold here are dazzling, and the cries of selling are one after another. People sat together back to back, drank heartily, sang and danced impromptu with the accompaniment of music, and even jumped on the table to congratulate each other.
during the festival, beer is served until 1: 3 every night, and the band plays pop music at 1: 45 to urge people to leave. At this time, thousands of drunken tourists will protest in unison, and the cleaning women have to put their chairs upside down on the table. For those tourists who refuse to leave for a long time, the security guards have to push them to the exit and force them to leave.
On weekdays, Germans give people the outstanding impression that they are serious and rigorous in their work attitude, obey orders, observe discipline and have strong principles, but they seem to lack humor and enthusiasm. However, at the Oktoberfest in Munich, people can find the other side of the Germans' vitality and enthusiasm. In particular, Bavarians' persistence and pride in their own culture and traditions have left a deep impression on people from all over the world.
this festival is regarded as one of the largest festivals in the world, attracting more than 7 million tourists and drinking more than 6 million liters of beer every year! I didn't expect that the Germans, who were in the impression, actually had such a warm and hospitable side. For 16 consecutive days of Oktoberfest, a large tent with tens of thousands of seats is set up on Teresa Square every year to provide tourists with beer and German cuisine; Amusement facilities such as the Ferris wheel are erected outside the tent, and parades and folk activities in medieval costumes are interspersed from time to time in the venue.
There is no nation in the world who loves beer more than the Germans. The extent of their binge drinking is surprising from the data alone. According to the statistics of Munich Tourism Administration, this festival attracts more than 6 million tourists every year, eating an average of 2, sausages, 6, roast chickens and drinking 6 million liters of beer. During the two-week Oktoberfest, Germans drank and ate a total of 13,528 kilograms of food, which was enough for one person to eat for 1 years. Last year, in 23, about 6 million people crowded into 14 tents on 31 hectares of grassland and drank about 5.7 million liters (1.5 million gallons) of German beer. All the beer greenhouses in Teresa Square are temporary, each with an area of about 2, square meters, and all have independent stages and beer sales counters. People sit on traditional long benches and long wooden tables, enjoying the world-famous German beer and roast pork legs with local characteristics. Besides drinking, the streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and parades composed of seven major wineries in the city have also taken to the streets to sing and dance. There are also many folk activities, such as concerts and circus performances, as well as many selling stations and amusement facilities, such as spinning horses and ferris wheel. Beer was served until 1: 3 in the evening, when the band played a tune urging people to go home, and the activity in Teresa Square ended at 11: in the evening. However, many tourists were still wanting more, and they stayed behind. Many people still moved to pubs that were open all night. Approaching the venue of Munich beer shed, you will see more than ten large Beer tent jointly opened by well-known beer companies and restaurants. Although they are called tents, each tent is like a small dome, because the project is as huge as building a house. In order to accommodate thousands to tens of thousands of people every night, each beer house has tried its best to meet the needs of different tourists. Since mid-July, it has started to build giant sheds, and both inside and outside the shed are decorated. More than a dozen beer sheds can hold more than 9, seats. Every beer producer will display their own beer in the tent. Everyone will sing and dance in the beer shed, eat roast chicken, grilled fish and giant German bread Pret-zel. In addition, many beer sheds also have a stage for bands to perform. Every night, there will be bands performing some familiar German songs, as well as parades and traditional songs and dances in medieval costumes. But the most attractive thing is that there are many kinds of amusement facilities outside the beer shed suitable for the whole family, such as merry-go-round, pirate ship, rotating beer barrel, large ferris wheel, swing, roller coaster, haunted house and other amusement facilities, as well as small stalls providing tourists with German imperial food, so that people of all ages will have a good time at the Oktoberfest! In addition, at night, colorful lights illuminate the whole venue, and you can feel that Munich is more beautiful at night, and the giant Ferris wheel is the best place to overlook the Oktoberfest venue.
Qingdao International Beer Festival
Qingdao International Beer Festival is 17 years old this year, and the baby born to the ground has grown into a young man in his prime.
From a local small festival to the first beer festival in Asia, the development of Tsingtao Beer Festival coincides with the pace of Qingdao's economic and social development.
"You can't drink foreign beer in the first few sessions." Gao Zhong, a citizen of Qingdao who has participated in the drinking contest since the first Oktoberfest and won eight championships successively, told reporters bluntly that with the internationalization of Oktoberfest, he can now drink more and more international brands of beer.
It is reported that the first Oktoberfest was held in the southwest corner of Zhongshan Park in 1991, sponsored by Tsingtao Brewery Group, and was attended by some beer manufacturers in Laizhou, Weihai and other provinces.
Zhu Quansheng, a Zibo native who has participated in the Oktoberfest every year, has no deep impression of the first three Oktoberfest. He accurately remembers that the first time he drank imported foreign beer at the Oktoberfest was at the Fourth Oktoberfest in 1994.
Since then, more and more foreign beers have appeared at the Oktoberfest. In 26, the 16th Oktoberfest introduced 45 beer brands, including 41 foreign brands.
This year's Oktoberfest is also 45 kinds of world famous beers, among which 9 of the top 1 beers in the world are Budweiser, Carlsberg, Blum, Baker, Newcastle and Asahi.
"Qingdao Oktoberfest is becoming more and more international." Ma Gengcun, a researcher at Qingdao Academy of Social Sciences, thinks so after comparing beer brands in the past 17 years.
People attending the Oktoberfest also have more international faces. Former Australian Prime Minister Hawke once set a record of drinking 1,42 ml of beer in 11 seconds when he was young. At the Oktoberfest in 21, Gao Zhong told him face to face that it only took him more than 8 seconds to drink 1,5 ml of beer. Hawke smiled: "I am old, not as young as I was."
The reporter found that I don't know from which session, photos of foreign girls or boys holding large glasses of beer began to occupy the core position in the publicity and reporting of the opening ceremony.
at the Oktoberfest, civilization and rationality are obvious.
"Bicycles stopped for a long time, and many motorcycle owners took the opportunity to solicit customers to make money. It was like a fair." Ma Gengcun, who had never been in the Oktoberfest, told reporters that now most people go to the beer city by driving a private car, taking a taxi or taking a bus.
With the change of vehicles, the traffic order has also made a qualitative leap. In the past, cars were crowded and sometimes collided and scraped. Nowadays, the traffic flow in the beer city is orderly, and the civilized quality of citizens' tourists is obviously improved.
social progress can be seen between drops. Wang Desheng, who has been in charge of the sanitation and cleaning work in the beer city for ten years in a row, said that tourists have become more and more respectful to them, and people have begun to take the initiative to throw garbage into the trash can.
"If you want to say that the beer city can't give full play to its role, it's the hangover room." Lin Xingyu, chief consultant of Oktoberfest, told the reporter that the organizing committee of Oktoberfest set up a sober-up room for the sake of humanity. Because people are drinking more and more civilized and rational now, beer city decided to cancel the sober-up room this year.
The reporter also learned that Beer City will set up a charity store in the city for the first time this year, and all the proceeds from the charity sale of celebrity calligraphy and painting, craft gifts and other donations from all walks of life will be used for public welfare.
In addition, the entertainment projects in Beer City have also increased a lot. "Beer in 27
