All you need is a liking for drinking beer and a love for delicious food" Fact or fairy tale?Believe it or not, the origins of Oktoberfest started back in Bavaria in the year 1810. They way it got started was that the crown prince met a lovely woman and promised her that for their wedding celebration they would have the most splendid horse race ever.So, the kin set up a wedding that lasted for 16 days, full of beer and partying. The citizens love this idea so much that they decided to keep repeating this beer laden celebration every single year, which is how this festival first got started.
