Raise a stein to Oktoberfest ktoberfest may be best known for beer, beer, and more beer, but, at more than 200 years old, it is also one of the longest-running German traditions. While drinking Oktoberfest-approved beer is an important Ocomponent of the festivities, there are many traditional foods and activities associated with Oktober- fest as well. The Oktoberfest event may trace its origins back to October 12, 1810, when Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Bavaria. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the wedding festivities, which took place in the fields in front of the city gates. The fields were later named “Theresienwise” (Theresa’s meadow) after the princess. Horse races took place, and those races were repeated the following year. As a result, Oktoberfest became an annual celebration. Oktoberfest has evolved throughout the years to include many significant traditions. Since 1950, the festival opens with a twelve gun salute and the tapping of the first keg of Oktoberfest beer at 12:00 p.m. by the Mayor of Munich. He cries, “O’ zapft ist!” (“It’s tapped!” in the Austro-Bavarian lan- guage) and officially opens the Oktoberfest. The Mayor then gives the first beer to the Minister-Presi- dent of the State of Bavaria. To qualify as Oktoberfest beer, a brew must conform to the Re- inheitsgebot, a German beer purity law. It must have a minimum of 6 percent alcohol. The beer also must be brewed within the city limits of Munich. Oktoberfest participants wear traditional Bavarian hats, which are made with a tuft of goat hair — a prized and expensive item in Germany. The Oktoberfest is known as the Largest Volksfest (People’s Fair) in the world. More than 7 million people are expected to participate this year. Amid the festivities and the abundance of alcohol that is served, it may seem like it would be a chaotic event. However, most Oktoberfests occur without incident thanks to emergency medical care on hand. Those who underes- timate their ability to handle the rich beer tend to pass out from drunkeness and are dubbed “Bier- leichen,” or “beer corpses.” Along with beer, many traditional foods are served at Oktoberfest festivals — from hendl (chicken) to knoedel (dumplings). Other Bavarian delicacies are served, includ- ing obatzda, a cheese spread.
