Across the United States, many communities are celebrating Oktoberfest, a tradition that has its roots back in 1810.

The festival started on October 12, 1810, when Bavarian Crown Prince Louis married and invited the people of Munich to join the festivities, including horse races.

The festival's traditions quickly caught on, and it is now celebrated annually, typically in late September or early October. Oktoberfest is renowned for its beer and festive foods like bratwurst.

The balance and skill involved in traditional activities, like stacking and carrying beer steins, often amaze festival-goers. As one attendee remarked, "How do they do it? The balance... I would drop it."
