The origin of Oktoberfest can be traced back to October 12, 1810, the wedding day of Bavaria's Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Against tradition, the couple invited Munich's common people to the festivities. The events were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gates now called Theresienwiese (Theresa's Meadow). Forty thousand people showed up for the celebration. A year later, they decided to throw the party all over again as an anniversary tribute to the royal couple. And so the tradition began

With authentic German attractions, music, dancing, Karneval, heritage booths, Biergartens and food, Oktoberfest is the second largest of its kind in the nation and one of Denver's longest running festivals. Admission to the event is free.
