What is Octoberfest?
Oktoberfest – the celebration known for folk costumes and kegs of beer – is steeped in rich tradition that started with a royal wedding in Munich, Germany in 1810 between Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony. Since then, the German festival has spread around the world to countries like the United States with millions of people celebrating through song, dance, games, and authentic German cuisines.
When is Octoberfest?
Traditionally in October, thus the name, Oktoberfest now starts in September and typically ends on the first Sunday in October to give festivalgoers a chance to enjoy the warmer weather. In 2022, the festival will be held from September 17th to October 3rd. That means your restaurant, bar or brewery can get the holiday season started a little early by attracting customers with an event featuring German music, trivia, sausage entrees, and discounted beer.
Of course, your business doesn't have to serve food and drinks to enjoy the celebration. There are plenty of Oktoberfest office party ideas to allow your employees to get in on the action. Whether you celebrate during happy hour after work or host a weekend party for your staff, use Oktoberfest ideas for work to bring your team together for an evening of yodeling and chicken dancing.

Cups & Can Coolers for Oktoberfest Advertising
An authentic Oktoberfest festival typically takes place outside, where party cups and can coolers are likely to come in handy for attendees at your event. These Oktoberfest promotional items are also more budget-friendly when you purchase in bulk, meaning they go further with large crowds that are bound to be attracted when you decorate with traditional blue and white checkered tablecloths.
Since the end of September can still be a little warm in most places, can and bottleneck coolers are perfect because they fit snuggly around drinks to keep them insulated and cold to ensure every sip tastes as good as the last.
