Whether you're after quenching your thirst at the Bavaria Beergarden or chasing the absolute crowd favourite, the Kibbeling by The Kibbeling express , you'll find it all and more at this bigger and better Festival. Spread the word, bring family and friends, bring a picnic rug and/or chairs to set up on the lawn for an enjoyable day. Why not mark the occasion with a Dutch costume photo booth pic. Fluffy alpacas have nothing to do with the Netherlands but they'll be located next to the photo booth, so it should be an easy find.
