＊Oktoberfest＊

I will talk about the things which are done in this festival.

On the first day of the Oktoberfest, a woman who draws on a black cloak which means manto in Japanese takes the lead. Following this, carriages which carry so much beer pass the way. There are parades in this day. The people who manage this festival pass the way with riding horse.

In the afternoon, the mayor says "O'zapft is!" This word is a dialect of Bayern(バイエルン) region. It means let’s drink beer from now!! Only the company of Buluwary(ブルワリー) which make beer is allowed to offer the beer in this festival.


On the second day, you can see much lovely parade. Young girls and boys wear folk costume. They wave hello to audience. This is a main entertainment of this festival.

There are amusement grounds in this festival. The views of this night are so beautiful. Many visitors can enjoy this festival. This is really big festival. We can enjoy eating, drinking and playing. If you have time to visit German in October, you should go this festival.
