It's National Beard Day! 🧔🏻‍♂️ VOTE for your favorite Bavarian beard: 😮👍❤️😆

Did you know there’s an annual beard competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria? And these aren’t your ordinary beards — we’re talking spectacularly curly, carefully groomed, gravity-defying seriously impressive facial hair!

There are categories for everything from full beards and magnificent mustaches to the wonderfully wild freestyle category. 🏆

Because apparently, in Bavaria, even your beard can be a work of art. 💙🤍

The first Oktoberfest made its way from Munich to America in 1961 - 65 years ago!

The first major American Oktoberfest was held in La Crosse, Wisconsin, October 13–15, 1961. It was inspired directly by Munich’s Oktoberfest and was developed as a community festival with the help of the G. Heileman Brewing Company and the local Chamber of Commerce.

German-American communities had smaller Oktoberfest-style celebrations before 1961, but La Crosse’s event is the first major, established American Oktoberfest.

Fast-forward 65 years, and Oktoberfest has become a beloved fall tradition, with hundreds of celebrations taking place across the U.S. every year!

Other than the original in Munich, I have attended Oktoberfests in Hawaii and Texas.

QUESTION: What states have you enjoyed Oktoberfest in America, and have you been to the one in Munich?
