Festival




It’s held in Theresienwiese there is west of Munich. There are 14 big tents and 16 middle or small tents. The big tent can accommodate about 6000-70000people. Most of tents are classified Beer Company. About 6,000,000 people go the festival from around the world. And they consume about 6,450,000 liter beer every year. The seats are full all the festival. So it is difficult for visitor to get the seat. And seats are founded in the out side too. There are many people who wear traditional clothes.
There is brass band performance on the stage that is founded in center of the tent. Then people who have beer mug, dance and sing.  There are only 1 litter beer mug that is called masu. And many mugs are carried by strong waiters.
Of course, people eat much sausage as their snacks. About 400000sausages are consumed there.

And some attractions are temporaries outside the tent. The attractions are scale. So I recommend you going on the attractions before you drink beer.
The first day, mayor and a woman who wears black mantle ride on horse and come to the site. Then, there is an opening parade. And the mayor opens the barrel. They toast with saying”Prost!!” The festival is hold for about 2 weeks.
