I usually go to Crossroads at the Marriott - they usually do set meals that come with a pint of Erdinger for a couple of weeks

Last year the Swiss Club had some big open to everyone functions.

Maybe some of the other clubs and local radio stations will also be arranging events

At last wednesdays' WNDC I was told that indeed the Swiss Club has 'the real thing'. Big tent with long tables and seatings. But it supposedly would be sold out though.

I didnot check to be honest, whether or not it is indeed sold out.

And Paulaner at Millenia Walk seems to have a kind of oktoberfest as well.

KT & others, should we organize a group and go have a few beers?

was wondering what oktoberfest was all about and did some research of my own. thought i'd paste some info here just in case others care to know what it's all about besides an excuse to drink beer!

"The historical background: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September.

By moving the festivities up, it allowed for better weather conditions. Because the September nights were warmer, the visitors were able to enjoy the gardens outside the tents and the stroll over “die Wiesen”

Wow.... Wimh, I love your thoroughness and your search for substance on all occasions.

I am afraid though, that this rich history is in no way anyhow related or remembered to / at todays' 'fest' itself. It is just an excuse for drinking as much as one can. I have been to the 'real' thing in Muenich a couple of times and it is vulgar to the bone (Dutch saying...). "Saufen" as the Germans tend to say, before they start drinking themselves to a state of unconsciousness....

search for substance? you flatter me eric. i just didn't want to come on here sounding like an ignoramus and ask all you seasoned oktoberfesters "what is oktoberfest?"

anyway from the previous posts it's obvious that it's just an excuse to drink yourselves silly... and since i'm not a drinker i wondered if there was anything else in it for me... but i guess not, have to go look for other types of ...fests!
