Every country has its unique festivals. Those who are planning to travel abroad particularly will be eager to experience a unique cultural festival in the region they visit.
Let's take a look at what festivals are waiting for us this autumn season around the world.

Germany : Octoberfest Beer Festival

Octoberfest, which means the festival in October, is one of the world's most loved festivals, as popular as Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan or Rio Carnival in Brazil. Held in Munich, Bavaria, in the southern part of Germany, Octoberfest is the world's largest cultural and beer festival.

Running from late September to early October for 10-20 days every year, the festival sees its 181st anniversary this year, showing its long history and tradition. In 1810, to celebrate a royal wedding, the citizens of Munich were invited to attend horse races, and the decision to repeat the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the Octoberfest. From the mid 19th century, the festival began to be sponsored by six Munich beer companies, and this enabled it to grow as the world's largest beer festival.

Octoberfest began with a procession of lavishly decorated carriages and musical bands surrounded by fork costume-clad citizens and tourists. The festival presents over 200 attractions and events, including a street march going across the downtown of Munich as well as various rides, circus and mime shows and music concerts. During the festival, the smell of beer is all around with 6 million people from around the world drawn to the event every year.

The festival unites people from all around the world with real German beer, delicious food and great music. Isn't it a good destination for your autumn trip?
