Invite Your Friends To Raise A Glass and Celebrate Oktoberfest!  by: Hillary Marshak Wish you were in Germany to celebrate Oktoberfest? Now you don't have to be! Recipe4Living has compiled a delicious menu of traditional German food and fun for you to host your own Oktoberfest party! Oktoberfest is a multi-century old German tradition that began in Munich to celebrate and commemorate the marriage of German Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Now a festival celebrated by millions all across the world, it's an excuse to kick back with some good German food and German beer! With tasty menu ideas and beer suggestions, you can have your own Oktoberfest party in your very own home.
