Interrupted only by cholera epidemics and wars, its first year saw horse races and the wedding of Prince
Interrupted only by cholera epidemics and wars, its first year saw horse races and the wedding of Prince [*]  Ludwig I and Princess Theresa. In 1818, it began serving food and beverages. Running for two weeks starting in late September, it is still held in its original location of Wies'n [VEE-zin]. For 10 points—name this annual German beer-drinking festival.
