Oktoberfest is a world-famous German festival that takes place every year in the city of Munich. The festival lasts for two weeks and features a variety of traditional activities, including beer drinking, music, dancing, and food. On October 12th of 1810, this famous festival started as a way to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, but it has since evolved into a massive celebration of German culture.
Luckily for us, this alcohol-filled festivity also happens in New Orleans! Each year, the Big Easy throws its own version of Oktoberfest, complete with all the same traditional activities. With something for everyone, it’s no wonder that Oktoberfest is one of the most popular festivals in the world. So whether you’re in Munich or New Orleans, make sure to raise a glass and enjoy this festive occasion! Prost!
The New Orleans Oktoberfest is a great opportunity to try some delicious German-style cuisine. The festival features a variety of traditional dishes, including sausages and schnitzels. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities to sample German beer, wine, and spirits. And of course, no Oktoberfest would be complete without a selection of desserts, including strudel, cookies, and cake.
The Deutsches Haus is the perfect place to go for an authentic German food experience. Their currywurst, kielbasa on a stick, and Bavarian-style pretzels are all delicious and will leave you wanting more. And if you have a sweet tooth, they have you covered with their flavorful apple strudels, Oktoberfest cookies, and even some ice cream. Plus, signature beers such as Franziskaner, Warsteiner, and Paulaner are all imported from Germany and are ready to be served.
