With this much focus on beer in Germany, it is no wonder why they hold the largest beer festival in the world, Oktoberfest. This festival attracts around 6 million visitors from around the globe to Munich, Germany, and lasts for around 16 days in mid-September.
Oktoberfest started to celebrate the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Bavaria and was originally a horse race. Andres Michael Dall’Armi, inventor of Oktoberfest, arranged the horse race celebration in 1810 and it was such a success, they continued the festival annually for the years coming.
