What is the Oktoberfest in Munich famous for?

Munich Oktoberfest is famous not only because it is a world-famous folk carnival, but also because it completely retains the folk customs of Bavaria. People transport beer in gorgeous carriages, drink in huge beer tents and enjoy folk songs and intoxicating love songs played by Bavarian brass bands. People will taste delicious food at the Oktoberfest and hold a series of colorful entertainment activities, such as horse racing, shooting, juggling, various entertainment activities, drama performances, national concerts and so on. People not only add a festive atmosphere to the festival, but also fully show their national enthusiasm, boldness and vitality. 18101012, Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Teresa Charlotte Louise of Saxony held a grand wedding.

Joseph, the father of the Crown Prince, decided to hold a two-day celebration for his son's wedding. In order to show the king's kindness to his subjects, during the two-day activities, four places in Munich provided free meals and drinks to all civilians. The kingdom's cavalry guards also held horse racing and shooting competitions on a large lawn in southwest Munich for entertainment. To commemorate this festival, the officers and men asked the king to name the lawn after the bride Therese. Since then, this lawn has been called "Theresa" lawn. Because the celebration left a deep impression on people, people suggested to hold another national event in 18 1 1 year. It will be held once a year from now on. This is the origin of October Festival. On the first morning of the festival, parades from Bavaria, other German states, Austria, Switzerland and France gathered together.
