Oktoberfest in Wedgewood Houston
Jackalope Brewery keeps the tradition alive in Wedgewood Houston
Oktoberfest, the world’s largest Volksfest, is a beloved annual festival held in Munich, Germany. This grand celebration dates back to October 12, 1810, when it was first organized to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen1. The citizens of Munich were invited to join the festivities, which included a horse race. The event was such a success that it became an annual tradition, evolving into the Oktoberfest we know today2.
Over the years, Oktoberfest has grown significantly, now attracting over six million visitors each year. The festival is renowned for its large beer tents, traditional Bavarian music, delicious food, and vibrant parades1. The celebration typically lasts for 16-18 days, ending on the first Sunday in October2. It has also inspired numerous similar events worldwide, bringing a taste of Bavarian culture to many corners of the globe3.
