A Little Piece of Germany Will Arrive in Colombia with the Magic of Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival, is celebrated annually in Munich, Germany. Its origins date back to 1810, when it was planned in honor of the marriage between Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria (the future King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. On that occasion, the citizens of Munich were invited to celebrate in the fields we now know as Theresienwiese. The event was such an overwhelming success that it was decided to repeat it every year.
This year, Oktoberfest is coming to San Agustín, Huila, bringing one of Germany’s most iconic traditions to this charming Colombian town. A group of brewers has decided to share the charm of their culture with the local community, creating a unique experience that blends Germany’s rich heritage with the vibrant culture of San Agustín’s residents.
The event promises to be a magical day, where both locals and visitors can enjoy a true cultural fusion. There will be typical games from both traditions, allowing participants to interact and share customs. In addition, it will be the perfect opportunity to savor both local and German cuisine.
This day invites everyone to immerse themselves in a celebration of cultural diversity, where the mix of German and Agustinian traditions will create an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this magnificent fusion of cultures and traditions in the heart of San Agustín.
