Title	Oktoberfest outfit
Subject	Germany Germany -- Social life and customs Clothing and dress Oktoberfest Festivals
Description	Oktoberfest, a German festival, began as a celebration of Princess Therese’s marriage to Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig in Munich on October 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich enjoyed the celebration so much that they decided to make it a yearly festival. Tradesmen and merchants came throughout Germany to enjoy the dancing, singing, and drinking. Today, Oktoberfest is the largest festival in the world. Fun rides and beer tents mark the festivities for over 6 million visitors from around the world every year. Bavarians proudly wear their local historical outfits called trachten, which are popular at the festival. Women wear traditional folk outfits unique to certain regions called dirndl, like this outfit.
