October is the season of Halloween costumes, pumpkin spice lattes, leaves falling, autumn ushering in, and horror works of art. What makes this spooky month even more remarkable is Oktoberfest: a famous, historic festival that originated in Germany and now comes all the way to Egypt!

The Story of Oktoberfest

The world’s largest folk festival is annually held in Munich, Germany. Oktoberfest is nothing short of a spectacular time for all age groups. It involves a travelling carnival, a beer-drinking fest, folk music performances, and lots of dancing!

It usually runs from mid-to-late September to the first Sunday of October. The historic festival took place for the first time as a royal wedding celebratory party in Munich on October 12th, 1810, when Kronprinz Ludwig (later King Ludwig I of Bavaria) married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.
