The costume captured an entirely different demographic when it came to the notice of Bavarian nobility. Impressed with the practical piece of clothing and its high-endurance materials, the upper-class Bavarians put Lederhosen to good use for their outdoor activities, such as hunting, horseback riding, and traveling.

Consequently, the Lederhosen slowly turned into fashion garments with the advent of the 19^th century. The first notable mention of the garment in a social setting date back to 1810, the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The yearly Oktoberfest is celebrated in memory of the blessed nuptials.

Oktoberfest and Lederhosen have remained synonyms since the 1800s. The Oktoberfest festival kicks off every year in Late September with millions of visitors in attendance. Visitors normally wear traditional Lederhosen, Dirndls, or Bundhosen. Lederhosen Store carries an extensive variety of Oktoberfest outfits that are German to the core.

FOOD & DESSERTS FOR OKTOBERFEST

Food, Drinks, and Desserts are the heart and soul of any party, but things escalate ten-fold when it comes to Oktoberfest. Choose foods that fit with the autumn season as Oktoberfest is around autumn. Think some apple cider, apple pies, and apple tarts, etc.

Wursts are a necessity for every Oktoberfest gathering. Knockwurst, Bratwurst, and liverwurst are few common types. Be mindful that liverwurst has a strong flavor, and your guests might cringe. Throw in some Sauerkraut to go with your selection of wursts and German sausages. Keep a variety of hard loaves of bread and some different cheeses to snack on.

Roast Chicken- For Oktoberfest, chickens are spit-roasted until their skin is golden brown and crisp. Mostly, people do not have a rotisserie set up at home, so you can roast the classic lemon thyme roast chicken in your oven. Put lemon and thyme-infused butter all over the chicken before roasting, ensuring crispy skin to nibble on.

Steckerlfisch- Fish grilled on a stick, an easy recipe, steckerlfisch is marinated, skewered, and then grilled. This is typically made with local Bavarian fish – bream, though you can make it with mackerel or trout. Also, try grilling some sardines with your unique spice pallet.

Obatzda – The spiced cheese butter spread can become your new favorite spread. It is aged tender cheese, like Camembert, with butter and some beer. Spices like paprika, pepper, and garlic are added for extra taste. Try the upscale version made with crème fraiche and Dijon mustard, along with farmer’s cheese and butter.

You can also toss some potato salad, another unique German dish – and yes, some pretzels. For some dessert options, go for a black forest cake with whipped cream, extra cherries, and chocolate shavings. You can also whisk up a German chocolate cake with pecan, walnut, or coconut frosting; trust us- it is delicious. Also, streusel and other pastries will add to your traditional spread.

OKTOBERFEST ACTIVITIES AND GAMES

For extra liveliness and fun, select some games and activities that take inspiration from Germany. Set up a pretzel-making counter, or play some beer theme games. Also, you can convert one of your already favorite games to German inspired ones, such as German charades or Pictionary.

Mostly, remember to keep your home Oktoberfest fun and light-spirited. Getting the right decorations, food, and other elements for a good party will make planning and hosting much more manageable.

Relax and sit back to enjoy the work you have put into the party, plan ahead of time and when your guests arrive, join in with them for memorable fun. Have a blast planning and hosting your Oktoberfest party.
