It's that time of the year again. It's Oktoberfest 2019! And, it's time to celebrate.
Oktoberfest runs for 16 - 18 days that start in the middle or late September and goes on until the first weekend of October. This year it will run from 21 September to 6 October. During the event, large quantities of beverages are consumed and there is lots of partying, eating drinking and being merry!
Did you know Oktoberfest is a German festival that celebrates the culture of Bavaria and special beverages, and it began as part of wedding celebrations 200+ years ago when Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig got married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810? The wedding celebrations included many days of drinking, feasting and horse racing. This celebration went on to become an annual event and, today, it's become a worldwide festival with many cities around the world - including Qatar - taking part with celebrations modeled after the original Munich event.
We've put together a bunch of places in Doha where you, too, can celebrate Oktoberfest 2019 and be part of the festivities that come with it!
