The Oktoberfest Experience

Oktoberfest is a world-renowned festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, from September to October. It is one of the largest fairs in the world, attracting over 6 million visitors each year. The festival begins with the Mayor of Munich tapping the first keg of beer, declaring “O'zapft is!” or “It’s tapped!” Special Oktoberfest beer, darker and stronger in taste and alcohol, is served in one-liter tankards called Maß.

Visitors indulge in traditional Bavarian fare, such as sausage, hendl (chicken), käsespätzle (cheese noodles), and sauerkraut, along with delicacies like roast ox tails. The festival is not just about beer; it's a celebration of Bavarian culture, with music, dancing, and hearty food playing a significant role.

The Oom Pa Pas have performed in numerous locations, including:

• Massachusetts: Boston, North Shore, Worcester, South Shore
• Rhode Island: Providence, Newport
• New Hampshire: Portsmouth, Laconia
• Maine: Portland
• Vermont: Burlington, Montpelier
