 Article about how "a Bavarian celebration that became a German tradition is giving amusement parks and major cities a reason to celebrate in October." Provides a brief history of these beer-drinking festivals (which "began as a wedding celebration for a Bavarian crown prince in 1810"), and information about the event as held in Munich, Germany, and in cities and amusement parks in the United States.
