Although I am from North of the Weisswurst Aequator (White Sausage Equator) and considered by Bavarians as "Sau Preusse" (it's a little bit like the North and South here in the old days) - this is what I know about this spectacle: It runs for 16 days from late September until early October. It started in early 1800s as celebration of the crown prince of Bavaria getting married.
I was there once many, many years ago. I have never seen so many happy drunken people from all over the world. I guess that how you can achieve world peace. Give them some beer and bratwurst and everybody gets along.

yup, it's from late september till start of October, and I hate it Drunk people sitting in lines on "beer-tables" singin' along to the most horrible folk-music you have ever heard... not my thing... Maybe it's because I do not like beer (I prefer the stronger drinks ) and without beer...it is BORING
But hey, we will try and get some fest set up here...

@Marjolein
Mix your beer with tomato juice (poor girls bloody mary), and the party gets more interesting.

mmh, I prefer mixing my tomato juice with Vodka, is that ok too?

Yeah nice! That shouldn't be a problem, since Taz and I just relocated back to Germany. And next weekend we will have a small copy of the Oktoberfest in my town.

I didn't think you could get the Vodka at Octoberfest.

You could celebrate our October Holloween holiday at home, I have just the right bottle of Vodka for that, you just have to dress up like a ghost and hope the dogs don't attack while you get their picture!

Where are the pics of the dogs?! I need some ideas here!

I know!! me too!!

Love that bottle of "boos" - very cute!!

ship that bottle right in

I think that pic is the winner! LOL

So where are all the doggie pics? No one took pics of their dog going to Octoberfest?

For me, there is NO way I would let my DUTCH dogs pose in a GERMAN zauf-fest.

not sure if I'm offended by this... I think not...still very Dutch
How 'bout some bite-fest pics instead?? No-one knows if that was in october or not

I have plenty of bite-fest pictures, yes. :Mrgreen:
But under this October fest topic, I will sit back and wait for the interpretations of the German beer-bash. (nicer way of saying zauf fest) Who knows. Maybe we will get lederhosen and funny hats with feathers, beer, sauerkraut and bratwust? Or Dirndl, do you think that would pass? Or must that be considered too Austrian?

I'll stick with the beer then, Dingo had a Zauf Fest on his birthday, and since I do not like beer, I made him drink it


tssk, can't even walk straight anymore...

What's the brand you served him? Grolsch or some German Pilsner?
