The 175th edition of the world’s largest beer festival kicked off Sunday when the city’s mayor tapped the first keg. Munich’s Oktoberfest runs until 5 October, and is expecting a whopping 1 million visitors this year. Check out the multiple tents that serve Bavarian beer and fried chicken. In fact, there is tons of food at Oktoberfest. Roasted meats, potato dumplings, sausages (of course), as well as other traditional foods and even desserts are on the menu. And don’t forget the carnival rides (although you may want to do that before you eat and drink). Grab your lederhosen and get going! If you don’t know what lederhosen is, check out this glossary of terms you should know if you’re attending Oktoberfest… By the way, “prost!” is a toast used by Bavarians. And now you know.
