You may already know that Oktoberfest is a famous beer festival that takes place in the fall in Munich, Germany. Due to the immense popularity of the Munich Oktoberfest, there are now many Oktoberfest celebrations around the world, including in Canada. But it may surprise you to learn that, outside of Germany, the largest Oktoberfest celebration is Oktoberfest Kitchener-Waterloo in Ontario! According to the Germans, the Oktoberfest experience is all about “Gemütlichkeit”, which is translated as “coziness” in English. The Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest was first created in 1969 to encourage Canadians to join in the joyfulness of this unique Bavarian culture. The festival has since grown into a multi-week celebration taking place in a dozen restaurants and public venues throughout Kitchener and Waterloo. Attendees at the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest will get a chance to participate in Bavarian themed food and beverages events, as well as live music and entertainment for the whole family. In the past, over 700,000 people from Ontario and beyond have attended the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. While the original Oktoberfest in Germany was started from a very memorable 5-day wedding party of a Bavarian crown prince in 1810, the tradition has since spread throughout the world and it’s come to symbolize a time of cozy togetherness with friends and family. If you are a local brewery or a food vendor that’s looking to grow your beer brand or promote your products, it may be a good idea to look into participating in Oktoberfest festivals occurring annually in Ontario and in Quebec.
