Last night, while sipping fabulous wine at the Canary Hotel (downtown Santa Barbara) we noticed a tray of 4 beer glasses passing by, again and again…tempting all in sight. Oops…had we forgotten that Oktoberfest starts in September? Lets catch up with all those on their way, or who want to plan for next year, or simply want to see it all without the crowds. In our tour Insiders’ Munich Oktoberfest author/guide Yvonne Salisbury explains, “The Oktoberfest in Munich is the World’s biggest beer festival. Who hasn’t dreamt of visiting one day? First held in 1810, it has grown in size and popularity ever since. Today, over 6 million visitors from all over the World take up the invitation: ‘Let’s go to the Oktoberfest.’ Brass bands, cool beer, delicious food, party atmosphere, and the chance to meet old friends and new. For 16 days the citizens of Munich and its visitors enjoy the celebrations!” This tour is a QuietGuide, text and images for mobile, so not to worry about the noise of the crowd.
