Oktoberfeste
Oktoberfest began as the celebration of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s (later King Ludwig I5) marriage
to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 17, 1810.6 The Bavarians enjoyed the party, but
decided that October was too cold, so they moved it to September. Oktoberfest seems to combine well
with German cars (wenn Sie nicht zu viel trinken Bier).
There are lots of Oktoberfeste to choose from:
182nd Oktoberfest in München, 17 September through 3 October 2016
Obviously, the one in Munich is the original. One might expect Mädchen im Dirndl, there’s also
Armbrustschützen und Scheibenschießen7. It all takes place at die Theresienwiese im Zentrum von
München.
Oktoberfest Phoenix Club, Weekends, 16 September through 30 October 2016
The Phoenix Club, 1340 S. Sanderson Avenue, Anaheim, California 92806, phone 714.563.4166
Friday: 6:00 PM until Midnight
Saturday: 5:00 PM until Midnight
Sunday: 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM
They’ll feature Bavaria’s Allgäu Yetis und Odenwälder Dirndljaeger8. The air rifle range will be open
6:00 PM Saturdays and 1:00 PM Sundays.
Oktoberfest Alpine Village, Weekends, 16 September through 30 October 2016
Alpine Village Center, 833 West Torrance Blvd, Torrance, CA 90502, phone 310.327.4384
Friday: 6:00 PM-midnight
Saturday: 5:00 PM-midnight
Sunday: 1:00 PM-6:00 PM
They encourage patrons to buy tickets online.
5 Ludwig I was not “Mad King Ludwig”—that was his grandson, Ludwig II. Ludwig I was essentially overthrown in 1848 shortly after he attempted to tax beer. 6 From wikipedia.org 7 The first athlete disqualified from the Olympics for doping was a Swedish modern pentathlete who had “two beers” to “calm his nerves” before the pistol shooting portion at the 1968 Olympics. 8 Not to be confused with the Original Dirndljäger.
