It seems crazy, but Oktoberfest is actually mostly in September. Today there is a parade, carnival, beer gardens and lots of polka music playing for dancing and of course lots of delicious German foods! When is Oktoberfest celebrated? The celebration continues today with Munich being a destination for people all over the world to attend the real event! The Bavarian celebration originally had horse races for the public as part of the events. The original event was a celebration for the people to commemorate the marriage of King Ludwig I to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburgausen. Oktoberfest is more than a week long festival that began in 1810 in Munich Germany. I’d had it in the back of my mind for a while and I’ve never met an Oktoberfest I haven’t enjoyed! What’s not to love? There are beer gardens, authentic German food like these Homemade German Pretzels, and Bratwurst with Kraut , along with dancing and singing! (Beer barrel polkas and the chicken dance are played often!) Homemade German Pretzels are common at Oktoberfest celebrations! Everything you ever wanted to know about Oktoberfest! What is Oktoberfest? My husband loves Germany and my mom had many German recipes in her recipe box and when I was going thru them he saw this one and said I had to make it for an Oktoberfest Celebration! Today’s post is for a Traditional Sauerbraten Recipe.
