In 1810, when Princess Therese was married to the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig, the Oktoberfest festival began as a wedding celebration. La Crosse, Wisconsin and Munich, Germany during early October each year are filled with "merrymaking" and a carnival atmosphere known in both cities as Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest party has spread throughout the USA with Parades, pageantry, royalty, brew, bratwurst, and world famous entertainment. Oktoberfest began with a royal Bavarian wedding in 1810 where the groom, king Ludwig I, wanted to celebrate his marriage to Maria Teresa of Saxonia by proclaiming a state fair, in Munich.

Enjoy this Oktoberfest free themed party game...  RUNNING THE TRAP: Divide up into 2 teams. Tie 2 balloons to each ankle of the players. These are "traps". At the command the players of the teams run to the finish competing in speed. The next player in each team begins to run when his/her partner has reached the finish. For each burst balloon the team gets a penal point.  Have fun along with the guests at the Oktoberfest party!
