Some Important Things About Oktoberfest

The first Oktoberfest of its kind, Kitchener-Waterloo – the largest Bavarian festival kicked off on October 14, 1969, with a traditional knock on a barrel. The German club hosted a smaller version of the Oktoberfest. 

If you are a Canadian entrepreneur and see this as a great opportunity to host a much larger tourism event to attract visitors to Kitchener-Waterloo. You can also get information about oktoberfest cares via the web.

The local German community was so enthusiastic about supporting this initiative (no wonder) that they even brought in a tourism officer from Munich, Germany. They started their Kitchener Waterloo at Oktoberfest for just $200 and probably really hope they don't mess it up. 

In just five days, they have attracted nearly 75,000 diners who drank 57,000 liters of beer and ate 50,000 pounds of sausage. Germans: go big or go home, right? Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest is now celebrated as Canada's largest Thanksgiving holiday. What are we waiting for?

Today, Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, which includes Canada's most famous Thanksgiving Parade, takes place nine days of the year, but first let me explain: Thanksgiving in Canada occurs on the second Monday in October every year. We learn something new every day, right? 

Unlike the Oktoberfest in Munich, which takes place in a central location, the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest takes place in many places in the city. Spread love; this is the Canadian way! 

Kitchener Welcome Square is the official centerpiece of the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest and is located in the center of Kitchener Town Hall.
