Celebrating Oktoberfest in Stephenville, Texas

The annual festival is celebrated for two weeks and ends on on the first Sunday of October. The celebration began as a horse race in 1810, and was a celebration for the wedding of the crown prince of Bavaria (King Louis I 1786-1868). The festival was first celebrated in Munich, Germany. The horse race brought attention to the state agricultural fair, and provided the attendees with food and beer.

In the 20Th century Munich breweries celebrated by assembling beer halls and providing live music to the crowd that consisted of up to 5,000 people. The beer consumption is said to have exceeded a million gallons.

This year marks the 200Th anniversary of Oktoberfest.
