Nothing sets the stage for fall better than a beer and harvest festival, the traditional end of summer celebrations common in Eastern Europe and American cities with a large German, Polish, or Czech population. To share in the festivities, consider planning your honeymoon around an Oktoberfest celebration.

Munich's Oktoberfest

The largest of these festivals, by far, is the annual Oktoberfest in Munich. The event began in 1810 as a wedding celebration for Prince (late King) Ludwig I and has been going strong ever since. Held each year in late September, the event draws around six million visitors each year, the majority from within Bavaria. In 2007, Oktoberfest begins on September 22 and lasts through October 7. Next year, the dates are September 20 to October 5.
