History

Oktoberfest traces its origins back to 1810, when the wedding celebration of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese brought the people of Munich together for a grand public festival. More than two centuries later, it remains one of the world's most beloved cultural traditions.
Traditional Bavarian attire

Traditional Attire

Traditional attire remains an integral part of the Oktoberfest experience. The Dirndl, characterised by its fitted bodice, flowing skirt and elegant apron, has evolved into a symbol of Bavarian culture and timeless style. Equally iconic, Lederhosen are traditionally crafted from premium leather and reflect the region's rich heritage, craftsmanship and enduring traditions.
