the First Oktoberfest Oktoberfest has been celebrated in Spokane off and on over the last 100 years, but the original event goes back to the start of the 19th century at a royal wedding in Munich, Germany. To celebrate the marriage of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen in October 1810, every citizen of Munich was invited to a horse race in a field outside the city gates. The field was renamed Theresienwiese (“Therese’s fields”). The 5-day event with 40,000 guests was such a hit that it became an annual tradition. More people began attending and other attractions were added, including a carousel and swings in 1818, and huge tents in 1868. The event now begins in late September to take advantage of warmer weather. Since 1950, the festival’s opening ceremonies have included the Mayor of Munich tapping the first keg and proclaiming “O’zapft is!” (“It’s tapped!”). Munich’s Oktoberfest, locally called “die Wiesn,” now draws millions of visitors from around the world. Although horse races no longer take place, the festival includes a parade, music, dancing, carnival rides, food and more.

But eventually this apparel became intended for special occasions. Here’s what you need to rock the Tracht! (traditional garments).
