Numerous German federal states are represented by their folkloric and music groups.

A multitude of groups dressed in traditional costumes alternate with amateur and mountain riflemen, music and marching bands as well as trumpeters, drummers and flag spinners. The splendid coaches of the Munich breweries, adorned carriages and a great number of decorated floats representing crafts and customs round out the impression of this unique and world-famous costume and riflemen’s parade which is traditionally led by the Münchner Kindl (since this year Viktoria Ostler) on horseback. The Munich Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter as well as the Bavarian Minister President Horst Seehofer participate in their festive coaches in this memorable event.

More than 650 exhibitors will present the latest developments for the country and its people. From 9am to 6pm daily visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the greatest agricultural show in Bavaria – all with a festive character. Extending over 120,000 m2 the event presents a variety of products and information about agriculture and forestry, food production and animal husbandry. In the “Great Ring” spectacular animal presentations attract visitors; high- tech fans can admire the latest machinery for agriculture and forestry. The Bavarian Animal Show featuring awards for the best breeding achievements by Bavarian farmers, the attractive show program and the multi-facetted presentations in the Great Ring will again be a magnetic draw for visitors. Noteworthy educational programs and special shows, contests, discussions about current issues and lotteries round out the program. The heart of the ZLF is “the marketplace” where Bavarian Page 4 farmers and direct marketers offer their seasonal products. Merry dancing can be enjoyed around a Franconian dance linden tree. This year the “Oide Wiesn” takes a break for reasons of space. However, the festival tent called “Tradition”, which is known from the historical folk festival, makes a guest appearance at the ZLF. Dressed in traditional costumes members of the folklore associations from Upper Bavaria set the mood with folk music and dancing, whip-crackers and slap-dancers. The festival tent with beer garden is open until 10.30pm during the ZLF. Following the end of the ZLF during the second week of Oktoberfest from September 26 to October 3 the village marketplace will be open for visitors from 10am to 9pm and the festival tent “Tradition” from 10am to 10.30pm. The first agricultural festival was held in 1811 as special exhibition to promote Bavarian agriculture during the Oktoberfest. The ZLF takes place in the southern part of Theresienwiese every four years during the time of the Oktoberfest.

Munich – Powered by Beer explores the production and consumption of beer, especially from the mid-19th century to the present day. Page 5 In no other major city does the culture of beer seem to be so closely woven into the fabric of its history. The title of the exhibition emphasizes three aspects: “Bier macht München” (Beer makes Munich) is a direct allusion to the way in which beer has shaped Munich’s urban development. Beer also enjoys strong bonds with the powers that run the city, leaving its stamp on everything from medieval brewing rights to today’s politicians who attend the opening of every new pub. Indeed, as industrialization took hold from the 1870s onwards, Munich itself blossomed into a global beer power. It is fitting that the potential for diversity still epitomized by the Purity Law has moved to the
