If you didn’t know, the first Oktoberfest was first celebrated in Munich in 1810 in honor of Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The marriage celebration and royal festivities began on October 12, 1810, and lasted nearly a full week until October 17th concluding with a very anticipated and exciting horse race. The fields were renamed Theresienwiese, “Theres’a Fields” to honor the Crown Princess.

Why it’s not named Septemberfest. Have you ever wondered why does most Oktoberfest celebrations take place in September rather then in the month of October like the name implies? The answer is very logical and has to do with the cooler October weather in Germany during that time. The festival organizers eventually decided to start Oktoberfest weeks earlier towards the end of September to avoid the cool October weather, the common heavy October rains and also the late season harvesting concerns for local farmers.

I know firsthand how popular Oktoberfest celebrations are year to year across the United States and Canada because I am the original creator and publisher of the very popular brand GermanHeritageUSA that you may see online.

As a person of German Heritage myself, just over four years ago I started a facebook page dedicated to explore the impact of German Heritage related traditions, culture and history that German immigrants had on the shaping of America from coast to coast. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the effect was indeed far reaching.

Today on our GermanHeritageUSA facebook page and website, we share articles, reviews, images and videos on everything German Heritage related including restaurants, recipes, traditions, events and festivals like Oktoberfest.
