Every year, Germans and beer lovers from all corners of the world get together in Munich to celebrate Oktoberfest.
The wedding celebrations turned into a multi-day festival which was then repeated year after year.
The festival has a two-century-old history that dates back to 1810 when Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese.
In 2010, Munich celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Oktoberfest which now averages around 6 million visitors every year.
