Interrupted only by cholera epidemics and wars, it
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.
