2013 Oktoberfest Events
So here we go with the start of Oktoberfest 2013. This is one of the world’s most popular celebrations with over 6 million revellers annually attending the celebrations in Munich. A time for traditional dress, beer and snacks, Oktoberfest has long been the most popular time for the wearing of Lederhosen (for men) and the Dirndl (for women).Today with the popularity of dressing up and fancy dress, there are a wide variety of affordable costumes which you can select from which means you don’t have to spend a fortune to look just right at the celebrations, or if you’re not able to join the millions of others in Munich, at your own celebration of Oktoberfest. At Karnival Costumes we have a whole section devoted to Oktoberfest and we carry stock all year round of Oktoberfest costumes, accessories and party goods as well as having a huge selection of themed traditional blue and white Bavarian decorations.
As we said, Oktoberfest has a world-wide appeal and in the UK there are several notable events being planned. Some of these events sell-out quickly, so check on each for availability of remaining tickets. We’ve only listed a few so you should also check your local press and other information sources to see what else is being planned locally.

It’s not too late to start planning for this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations but if you do miss out, why not plan your own party? So as they would say at any of these celebrations;
Ein Prosit! A traditional Oktoberfest toast which translates roughly to mean ‘wish you good health’.
