Munich's Oktoberfest Celebration
Oktoberfest in Munich: A Celebration of Bavarian Traditions
Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Oktoberfest, the world-renowned beer festival held in Munich, Germany. The 180th edition of this grand celebration will take place from September 21 to October 6, 2013.
Spanning over 34.5 hectares, Oktoberfest in 2013 boasts an impressive 141 restaurants and 173 attractions. One of the most unique areas to explore is the "Oide Wiesn," a section dedicated to showcasing Bavarian customs, Munich hospitality, and traditional folk music.
At the heart of "Oide Wiesn," you'll find the cozy tent pavilion "Herzkasperl," offering a variety of delicious dishes. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, you'll find something to savour here. From vegetarian options to Wiesnhendl (grilled chickens) and organic meat dishes, "Herzkasperl" caters to all tastes.
But the culinary delights don't end there. The "Tradition" tent pavilion at "Oide Wiesn" offers a smorgasbord of Bavarian delicacies, accompanied by the lively tunes of a brass orchestra and the sight of folk-costumed performers.
The mood at "Oide Wiesn" is set by the rhythmic cracking of whips (Goaßlschnalzer) and the energetic Bavarian dance Schuhplattler. This alternative, quieter celebration within Oktoberfest is suitable for families and the elderly, providing a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling main festival site.
A historical "Oide Wiesn" was recreated in 2010, offering a glimpse into the past Oktoberfest days. However, the founding year of the Museum of the Munich Fairground Association at the "Oide Wiesn" is not explicitly provided in the available search results.
Of course, no visit to Oktoberfest would be complete without sampling the beer specially brewed for the festival. You can find this traditional brew served in Keferloher mugs at both the main festival site and "Oide Wiesn." A liter of beer will cost you between 9.40 and 9.85 euros across the entire Oktoberfest site in 2013.
With an expected 7 million visitors from all over the world, Oktoberfest in Munich is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Bavarian culture and a memorable beer-drinking experience. So, grab your stein, put on your best Lederhosen, and join the festivities!
