The first Oktoberfest was held October 12, 1810, in honor of the marriage of Crown prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese von Saxony Hildurghausen. Since that time it has become, above all else, a celebration of German beer. The Lord Mayor of Munich, Germany, opens the first barrel, and the 16 day festival begins. Both citizens and tourists flock to the event, which is marked by folk costume parades in which brewery horses draw floats and decorated beer wagons through the streets. Oktoberfest celebrations modeled on the German festival are also held in cities throughout the United States.Come support The Scottish Rite Language Center (https://www.ssrlc.org/)TRY YOU SKILLS ON OUR NEW AXE TROWING RANGE--Get you commerative mug--Musical Talents Rogue Nation
