It's that time of the year again! Different costumes, hats, pins, and lots of fun! No, we are not talking about Halloween. We are talking about Oktoberfest, but don't let its name fool you, it actually starts in September. At first, it was celebrated between 12-17 October in 1810 for the marriage of Bavarian Crown Prince and Princess.

Seems like the celebration turned out to be really fun that it became an annual festival. However, the festival got longer throughout the years, and it was moved to September since the days were longer and the weather was better than in October. Still, in order to honor the original dates, its last week takes place in October.

Of course, there are some Oktoberfest traditions, and if you consider going to this festival, you should dress up for it as most locals do. Are you in for a dirndl costume or a lederhosen costume? Then, we are going to list 9 fun Oktoberfest costume ideas for you.
