One of the most renowned beer festivals in the world, the Oktoberfest is originally rooted in the Bavarian tradition. The idea of holding a full-fledged beer festival was triggered when, in 1810, at the wedding reception party of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, all the citizens of Munich were invited for royal festivities, which involved a lot of beer. The people enjoyed the festivities so much that it was decided to hold a beer festival each year. As the German immigrants migrated to the United States, they also brought with them this old Bavarian tradition, alongside others. The first ever Oktoberfest in the United States was hosted by a Bavarian Beer Garden called Blob's Park, located in the town of Jessup, Maryland, in 1947. After this, the tradition seemed to spread throughout the length and breadth of the country like wildfire. Today, there are hundreds of Oktoberfests, big and small, held all across the United States, and millions of people participate to celebrate the mighty beer and the sumptuous Bavarian cuisine.
