Celebrated since 1810, Oktoberfest was originally the celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in Bavaria. At that time, the festivities included horse races; a custom which lasted until 1938.

In 1811, an agricultural fair was added and in 1818, beer pubs with performers were included, making the celebration a great tourist attraction and way for visitors to learn about Bavaria and its people. In 1887 lederhosen and dirndls became the traditional dress for attendees.

Today in Europe, the celebration is held in September to take better advantage of the milder weather and lasts 16 days beginning on a Saturday in September and ending on the first Sunday in October. Along with the large quantities of Oktoberfest beer consumed, those celebrating enjoy amusement rides, side stalls and games as well as traditional foods.

Oktoberfest in Australia is very similar to that celebrated in Europe but events are held throughout October depending on where you are. With the following Oktoberfest events held in Adelaide in 2019, you are sure to find an (or more) event to celebrate.
