DIRNDLS & BEER// Lifestyle,Travel

GET READY FOR OCTOBERFEST

This week is the beginning of Octoberfest. The traditional festival

that is held every year . The most famous one of course is held in

Munich it lasts for 18 days  beginning mid September to begin of  October . The festival has its roots in Bavaria . 

 Vienna also has a Wiesn  festival though much  smaller in size , it is held at the Prater Amusement park and is quite popular.  I would guess it is less rowdy also.

What to WEAR? A DIRNDL of course!

The numbers of people that attend are extraordinary. Ladies are dressed up in their dirndls- a outfit with  a tight bodice and full skirt , worn over a white blouse and  with an apron.  It's a traditional german outfit that is worn for various occasions, not only Octoberfest. 
The  designs vary with different fabrics, some are very fancy with embroidered bodices or a more simpler style. 


You can have one custom made or buy ready to wear. The choices are endless. The colours are like a rainbow. So a DIRDNL is a must have!

The men will wear the traditional lederhosen,(leather shorts). checkered shirts and knee-socks.

A very traditional outfit and growing in popularity it seems. There are so many Dirndl shops . 

BEERS & BANDS

Yes that is the main thing, good beers and good music. Beers made in Europe are especially  famous . Some are more well known then others. Anyone who is a connoisseur of beers can probably find their favourite  or if not the major ones are served. So beer, pretzels and bratwurst are on the menus. 

The festivities are held  in a large beer tent that hold hundreds or in a  Beer gardens parklike settings.  There is plenty of music and merriment.

So it is a great way to welcome in the fall season and have new experience.  I would say, a smaller version is perhaps one way to experience  Octoberfest.  

CHEERS BROST EVERYONE! 

HAPPY OCTOBER
