Munich's Oktoberfest Celebration
In the heart of Munich, the 180th Oktoberfest took place from September 21 to October 6, 2013, attracting approximately seven million visitors. This world-renowned folk festival, which originated in 1810, continued to grow in popularity, offering a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
The Oktoberfest featured 141 gastronomes and 173 artistic attractions, providing a diverse array of experiences for visitors. Among these attractions was the "Oide Wiesn," a historic area established in 2010 to convey a nostalgic and traditional atmosphere. This alternative venue, designed for families with children and the elderly, offered a more traditional experience compared to the main festival.
At the "Oide Wiesn," visitors could enjoy beer served in traditional "Keferloher," gray ceramic mugs, while indulging in Bavarian festival foods. The "Tradition" tent, located within the "Oide Wiesn," offered a programme of traditional Bavarian attire and wind instrument music, transporting guests back to the "good old Wiesn times."
In a nod to modernity, vegan dishes were available on the menu for the first time at the Oktoberfest in 2013, catering to the growing number of vegetarian and vegan visitors. The price of a beer mug at the "Oide Wiesn" ranged between 9.40 and 9.85 euros.
Despite its global fame, the Oktoberfest in 2013 was not yet known as the world's largest folk festival. However, with its rich history, diverse offerings, and commitment to preserving tradition, it continues to be a must-visit event for lovers of Bavarian culture and festivities.
