Willkommen an Bord!
In my part of the world we are well-acquainted with Oktoberfest, which generally goes on here from the first weekend in September until we run out of beer.
Actually a lot of the smaller local communities like to have an "Oktoberfest weekend" of their very own, and nobody wants to compete with anybody else's Oktoberfest, so... we get a LOT of Oktoberfests.
I have only been to the relatively small one nearest me, since some of my family helps out with that one, and the one in nearby Cincinnati aka Zinzinnati, which is now the largest Oktoberfest celebration in North America and may in fact be the largest anywhere outside of Germany.
And now I want bratwurst, and a pretzel.
