Beer has been around since 9500BC when cereal was first farmed in Neolithic times. In fact, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamians enjoyed this brewed beverage long long ago. Modern day beer festival celebrations can be traced back to this time too. Today, you can attend festivals in just about any part of the world. If you can find a way to attend one of these celebrations, you will remember it forever.
Oktoberfest is one of the most popular and well-known events. Every year, it occurs in Munich during the latter part of September and stretching into the month of October. This event is the modern incarnation of the beer festival now seen all parts of the world.
The first Oktoberfest
occurred in the year 1810 in October. The celebration was centred around the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to his princess Theresa. Everyone who lived in Munich was invited to attend. One of the event highlights was horse racing that greatly impressed the Royal Family. This was the main reason that the tradition was carried out and Oktoberfest was born. Since then, it has occurred annually except during the war years and and epidemic outbreaks.
If you are a resident of Britain, you may wish to attend the GBBF, or Great British Beer Festival. This event is also called the "biggest pub in the world".
