JBLE celebrates Oktoberfest

By Senior Airman Derek Seifert 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs


U.S. Service members celebrate Oktoberfest Sept. 28, 2018, at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.

Oktoberfest is a festival that was held to celebrate the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghhausen in Munich, Germany in 1820 and only horse racing was the source of entertainment. Over 200 years, the festival has been expanded to including beer stalls, merry-go-rounds and other amusements.
