There is always something new added to the Octoberfest each year so it’s safe to say that you never get bored!! My friends and I often enjoy our weekends or free time after school there, trying out the different rides and enjoying our time. I absolutely love wearing my dirndls and getting all dressed up – sometimes I wish it wouldn’t be awkward to wear them on normal days throughout the year, too!

For anyone who loves a big fun fair with loads of amusement rides, haunted houses and other attractions this is THE place to be!! Personally, my favorites are the countless rollercoasters and the little stands where you can throw arrows at balloons and win a stuffed animal. Historically, the festival was the celebration of the marriage ceremony between Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810. Whenever it’s Octoberfest time, nobody can get enough of Munich!
