Welcome to Munich: Oktoberfest edition

Hi guys, how are you doing? :hugs:

TODAY the biggest “Volksfest” of the world started again in Munich, Germany! :pretzel:

In case you haven’t heard of it, its called Oktoberfest and takes place every year around the end of September and goes on until the beginning of October.

Today it was very crowded but fun anyways. For me it’s a must go! I love wearing my traditional Bavarian robes! Check out the pictures!

If you are ever planning on visiting Munich you should do it at around this time of the year! I guess you have never seen anything like the Oktoberfest! It’s totally worth a visit! Be prepared: German beer is quite strong :slight_smile:

@ErmesT a lot of Italians were there today :wink:

@OSAMA you should visit the Octoberfest :slight_smile:

Best,
Maria

Hi @MiaMaria Great photos, you look lovely in your dress :smiling_face: German beer is strong, hmm, I think the Irish could give you a run for your money when it comes to Beer! I was in Munich as a child of 12yrs old, of course I did not drink but I still remember the great atmosphere and people dressed in national costume. Enjoy, Brost

@MiaMaria ,

great post from the Oktoberfest! I think I will make it 3 times this year :wink:!

Of course then I don’t look famous like you, because in fact several years ago I bought a Lederhose but never took them on. I felt like chicken :poultry_leg: wings with my legs…

But the biggest effort maybe is, that you managed to write a post AFTER the Oktoberfest. There are sometimes quite long recovering processes going on :beers: :beers:, when you know what I mean.

So, have fun! Maybe once we make a meet up there…

Hi @MiaMaria ! Yes, a lot of italians guys come to Germany for a real taste of Oktober Fest! (and what happen at October Fest stay in October Fest…!!!)

It’s so famous that we try to replicate here in many places around North Italy! (but obviously not so big and prestigious like this in Germany)

Have fun,

David

Hi @MiaMaria , it looks like it’s very fun! I saw some videos today of the parade and it was very interesting, I hope I get to go to the Oktoberfest someday.

I got a sudden opportunity to go to Munich this October (:smiley:) but the fest will be over for weeks by the time we get there . At least the city won’t be so crowded :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for sharing this important part of Munich with us!

@TorM I’m very interested, thank you for tagging me!

@Jesi !!!

You come to Munich??? Send me days around a weekend you have time for a Meet Up and I will organize one!!!

@TorM yes! :smile:

I’ll be there from the 16th to the 18th, which I just realized are the same days Connect Live is… so I won’t be there on the weekend. But if you can organize one those days it will be awesome! Maybe you could host it as one of the worldwide meet ups that will be done in those days :wink:

Let me know if you have any ideas!
