Day one in Munich started with a parade of the breweries. To be in Munich’s Oktoberfest, which is the original and is over 200 years old. You have to brew your beer in Munich. There are five breweries represented in this parade. Each brewery enters one wagon of the beer that will be served in the tent at Oktoberfest and one wagon holds the beerhall workers. Each wagon is pulled through town and ends up at their respective tents inside the fair grounds. At noon sharp the Mayor of Munich taps the first barrel of beer and thus begins Oktoberfest. You can be in the tent but you will not be served any beer until the cannon fires announcing the keg as been tapped.
