The Copenhagen Oktoberfest – Beer Lover's Paradise

Oktoberfest is a very popular and much-awaited beer-drinking party that has its origins in the German city of Munich. In 1811, an agricultural show was included to promote the Bavarian agriculture in Germany. In 1816, carnival booths appeared; the main prizes were porcelain, silver and jewelry. Going further, the Munich residents decided to hold this event called Oktoberfest every year. In 1811, with respect to Bavarian Crown-Prince Ludwig's marriage to the Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, Oktoberfest made its formal beginnings. Today it sees over six million people each year and inspires numerous similar events using the name Oktoberfest within Germany and around the world, many of which were founded by German immigrants or their descendants.
