Some pictures from the anniversary

[Old Crank]

the Oktoberfest, originally the wedding party for Ludwig I and Therese, Oct. 17, 1810. We had originally reserved a table for the evening. However we couldn't get a large enough group to show up. Some of the problem, weeknight, and a number of people we know have Covid angst. We will see in a few days if we dodged the plague. Didn't seem to slow down tourists. We managed to dodge rain going and coming and around the park.

The "Champaign tent" Sekt in German, and tent?


Souvenir gingerbread, lebkuchen.


A candy and sweets stand.


Inside a tent, Lowenbrau, can hold 7,500 people on 2 levels with band stand.


The Nederlanders were represented.


After we left the tent, we did this... freakin' cold up there.

1. Congratulations on your anniversary!

Looks like everyone had a good time.

It would be awesome to have dinner inside the Lowenbrau tent. Everyone looks so happy.

3. The beer helps

If you do, go early to get some room.
In these tents the traditional bands play from 11 AM until around 4-5.
After that starts the party band. It does get chaotic.
We have taken guests that are our age plus to the Oide Wiesen, traditional area. Where people are cheerful also but the crowd isn't quite as young and the carnival outside is more child friendly.

2. Now THAT's a party.

Happy Anniversary, Old Crank.

4. How wonderful! Great photo. Love the hats.

When I was a kid we lived in Germany because dad was in the army. My most cherished possession was the green felt hat with souvenir pins on it! The picture of the huge beer hall also brought back a clear memory long forgotten, so looks like mom and dad took us to an Octoberfest.

Thank you for bringing back such sweet memories and so glad you three had a great time!

5. Congrats!

I love Oktoberfest. We met some people from Italy and Australia and spent the day with them.

Fun place for a celebration.

6. All good until the last pic. Not enough beer, even at Oktoberfest

to get me on that thing.
