Why is Oktoberfest always in September?

Why is oktoberfest in September?

  • Answer:

    This is only true in Munich, where Oktoberfest starts in September and ends in October. In many towns in Germany, Oktoberfest is celebrated on one Sunday in October. The first "Oktoberfest" took place on October 12, 1810: For the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen (hence: "Theresienwiese") organized a great horse race (the marriage took place on October 12th, the horse race on October 17th, therefore there are different dates named as being the first Oktoberfest).
