ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 29, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

Not wearing a Trachten is totally fine because the Octoberfests in Germany are originally meant for the working class where people could go wearing their work clothes. So people from the country side used to visit the fest in traditional garments. Lederhosen were very common to be worn at farmer‘s work due to their sturdiness.

Biggest mistake is to believe that wearing Dirndl and Lederhosen at the Oktoberfest is a tradition. It only started in the 1990s. It was more common to wear a suit and nice dress in the beginning or later to go casually. The Dirndl and Lederhosen is just a new way to make more money. Actually as kids n the 1970 we wore Lederhosen all day to play in and they lasted forever.
@jurgenwilhelm5412 8 ай бұрын
Yes and no. You're completely right, that wearing Tracht was not as common as today. In the earlier days no tourist or northern German would have lost a thought on wearing that style of garment. But: It always was a thing for real southern Bavarians to come to the Wiesn in Tracht. And the beer brewer march was always in Tracht. The Bavarian tradition was always a thing at the Oktoberfest (as it was all over southern Bavaria, you only had to leave Munich a couple of kms and you would find people wearing Tracht e.g. on sundays in the church and/or the Wirtshaus after).

Our club's plattlerhosen are from Chiemgau, and are smooth and thinner, allowing for a sharper sound. There is no embroidery on the leg. Even more comfortable to wear. We treat them with beeswax and the get shiny. There is a club in Cleveland. Look up Gauverband Nordamerika.

The earlier you get, the better as far as crowding is concerned; I found that German locals go in the morning for breakfast, and the tourists begin trickling in as the clock advances. Which is the best? I don't know. It depends on which beer you prefer. Of all the times I went to at Wiesn (Oktoberfest), I wanted to go to the Hofbräu tent, because that is my favorite beer. But it was always too crowded to get into. Last time I went to the Löwenbräu tent, and I enjoyed it (the festbier, aka "superlager", or "Oktoberfest beer" was good-it's a lager with more flavor and higher alcohol content, around 6-point-something percent). In fact, I enjoyed every tent I visited (Paulaner, Augustliner, Hacker, etc). In my experience, one tent is as good as another, so like I said, it really depends on which beer you prefer. And although I never ate in any tent (other than a pretzel, sold by dames walking around within the tent), I believe there are variations on the food that is served. So you might want to check that out ahead of time and go to a tent which has the food you want (although it will be similar amongst the tents). There's one tent that serves wine, and it's called Poschner's. The beer there is Hacker-Pschorr (which is good). It's one of the smaller tents. You might not have a problem finding a seat in that one.

The only mistake one can make about Oktoberfest is to go to it... at least the one in Muenchen. It is overprized, a cliché of the culture, full of (sorry) Scandinavians, Japanese and Chinese who all have one thing in common: they can not hold their liquor (or in this case beer) although it is poorly poured and of the most miserable, i.e. thinnest quality available. Go to the Dult in Regensburg or any of the celebrations held in small villages around Germany, Winefests in Baden Wuerttemberg and Rheinland Pfalz, especially up and down the Mosel river (I love Cochem) Aeppelwoifests in Hessen, and yes the beerheavy fests in Bavaria but NOT MUENCHEN.
@jurgenwilhelm5412 8 ай бұрын
Come on. The Festbier may be sometimes poorly poured (depends on the tent and the time) but it is definitely not the thinnest quality available. In contrary it has a little bit more alcohol then the every day beer, so you really have to be careful ... There are many reasons not to go to the Oktoberfest (for me, many of them you would also find at every festivity you recommended), the beer is not one of them.

In Bavaria too, it was made popular by two German-Jewish shop owners, they were from more North of Germany, but moved to Bavaria and fell in love with the local traditional clothes, so they opened a shop selling them and they became popular.

I did my first Oktoberfest about 5 years ago and it was a wild time for our group. My advice: 1) don’t do 5 days in a row like we did, drinking non stop from opening until closing not only nearly killed my wallet but it destroyed my liver and sanity. 2) don’t stress when you see people snorting white powder, it’s not coke it’s menthol and sugar! 3) don’t stand on the bench or climb on someone’s shoulders with your drink, having to drink the equivalent of 1 litre of beer in one go is a slog. Trust me there is a video out there of me doing it. Actually I’m lying do all of that as the place and atmosphere is amazing, so many people, so little trouble and everyone is pretty much drunk. Also the chicken is superb, just make sure you take lots of money as nothing is cheap. It was around 25c everyday when we went so it was perfect. Also the tents have such different atmospheres, Hofbrau tent is more where the tourists go and very lively but awesome. I recommend everyone to do it once, it’s an experience and I still order Hofbrau to have at home here in the UK. I can’t wait go again.

Did it , stayed 45 min and left. Our planet is way too overpopulated to do events like this anymore.. I'm sure octoberfest was fun years ago but... I think we're at the point where anything that says fair, fest Just means you're going to be standing in line all day long event We left and went to the English Garden instead. Less people no lines,

Grüß Di, Feli. I will definitely go to Oktoberfest this year (for the first time) but I will take the train, from where I live in beautiful Tyrol, it is not very far. I know that I will be drinking some good beer and certainly don't want to drive! 😄 so, Viel spaß and who knows? Maybe I'll see you guys over there in München.

You could also wear your Trachten at German Fest in Milwaukee next July. 🙂

We bought our trachten at German Fest this summer. Did a test run wearing it as Das Fest the following weekend. I think we're ready for the main event. We leave for Munich next week. Can't wait!

Because the title of your video addresses what _not_ to do in _Oktoberfest,_ and because you didn´t mention this matter therein, I take this to mean we all go to _Oktoberfest_ in October. _Ein Prosit! Bis dann! G´suffa!_

Paul Soter & Erik Stolhanske once caused a melee which brought down an Oktoberfest tent back in 2006!

Just saw an article saying Tulsa, Oklahoma Oktoberfest voted top 5 in the country. What??? I moved here a few years ago but Covid kept it from happening for a couple of years. Ours is still more than a week away. Oct 19-22. This will be my first in Tulsa. If you want to try a great Oktoberfest up in some gorgeous mountains at a ski resort, put Snowbird, Utah on your bucket list.

The blue blouse was beautiful, I hope there's a blue lederhosen like that, Id buy it. Being hawaiian I think id look off and stand out in a bad way lol but I want to visit Wiesn in Germany so bad now, it looks awesome.

With Ben, I think that as long as he keeps his mouth shut that he would blend right in at the München Oktoberfest.
