Cheers! South Forsyth Hosts Its 10th Annual Oktoberfest

The annual Oktoberfest celebration at South Forsyth is a tradition that introduces German culture to the War Eagle community. Originally intended to celebrate the wedding of King Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810, the holiday was a multi-day celebration that featured military parades, horse races, and plenty of beer.
