The first Oktoberfest was held on October 12, 1810 in Bavaria. Crown prince Ludwig of Bavaria married princess Therese of Saxon-Hildburghausen. The wedding festivities lasted five days and included parades of riflemen, music, eating and drinking. The festivities ended with a horse race held on a green. Over the next several years the festivities were repeated and Oktoberfest was born.
