These, oompah bands and other traditions are what Oktoberfest is originally about. The fiesta traces its ori- gins to a horse race in Germany in 1810, to celebrate the wedding of Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen and Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig.

And so, as the party capital, we’re grant- ing Oktoberfest a grand wilkommen like we don’t give a schnitzel. We’ll set off this Saturday, October 6 at Karengata, Marula Lane in Karen, and conclude at Alchemist later in the month.
