Oktoberfest History
Munich's Oktoberfest dates to 1810 and began as the elaborate wedding reception of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Saxon Princess Therese von Sachsen- Hildburghausen. The event was such a success that the fun-loving Bavarians decided to make it a tradition and so have the Denver Kickers. The Denver Kickers have recreated the world-famous festival with as much authenticity as possible and salute Colorado's German Heritage. This is the 189th year of Oktoberfest at the Theresien Wiese in Munich! Prosit! |
