Perhaps the most well-known German festival is Oktoberfest. Running from mid-September to the beginning of October, more than 6 million people attend this massive beer festival. Aside from alcohol, there are many other great attractions to enjoy, including traditional German food stall and amusement rides. Many visitors will also dress up in traditional German outfits, called Tracht. The women wear special dressed called dirdnl and the men wear leather shorts called lederhosen.
Unity Day, October 3rd. The largest national holiday in Germany, on this day the Germans celebrate the reunification of East and West Germany after the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Naturally, most of the celebrations are held across the city in Berlin – but the entire country holds official celebrations.
