As a comparable counterpart to the Oktoberfest in Munich, make sure you visit the oldest and biggest autumn festival in Germany, the Freimarkt in Bremen. This two week fair and folk festival with over 950 years of tradition and custom will provide you with live music, dancing and drinking in the streets.

The event starts every year with fireworks over the Bürgerpark and ends with the festival highlight, the “Freimarkts-Umzugsparade” with 150 decorated floats.
