After the octabezer of Munich, the world’s second largest folk and beer festival was closed to Wasen, a canstator of Friday-settgart.
About 300 incopies and market traders will open up to 12 October daily, hoping to match the last year’s 4.6 million visitors.
Action began by Stuttgart Mayor Frank Noper after 4:30 pm with traditional keg tap. The beer bangs only two hammer bangs to flow.
Baden-WURTTEMBERG State Premier conquered Kretsuchman from the Green Party, on stage at the inauguration of the 178th edition of the festival, with Brass Bands and Fanfare Group.
The attendance wants to be on the weather and the consumer mood, the festival host spokesman Warner Claus said, “Still Doldrums with Germany’s economy, the economic situation seems difficult this year. Table booking remains the same for eight festival tents, he said, but some cases have declined.
“You must identify that it has become more difficult for the time,” Claus said ahead of the incident.
What is canstator Wasen?
The three -week bear festival and traveling franfare are somehow referred to as Stutgart Beer Festival by foreign visitors, although this is the actual higher of an autumn fair.
Nevertheless, Volksafest widely considers the second largest beer festival in the world.
In addition to beer, the canstator Wasen has a huge fairground rides, color parade, live music stalls, Hardik Swabian Food Stalls, Candy Stand and a stir with game and craft.
The festival detects its origin in 1818, which is a Harvest Festival designed to celebrate agriculture after crop failures and famine after the volcanic winter after the Mount Tambora explosion of 1815 in Indonesia.
In the decades of sub -later, Volksafest developed beyond his agricultural focus. Traditionally a parade, the first and more than 10,000 participants and 100,000 audiences held in 1841 were depicted.
Oktoberfest-WHICH began last Saturday and moved until 3 October, which was a celebration of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig, who married Sax-Hildberg’s Princess Theres in 1810.
There is no figure of how many hectares of beer are sold in the festival, because in the stutgart – unlike Munich – it is considered as a business mystery.
An estate is of about two million liters (more than 500,000 gallons), compared to 7 million liters in a large borean festival.
