While you might not expect to find one of the world’s largest Oktoberfests in Brazil, the former German colony of Blumenau in Santa Catarina state, rivals Munich as much for its authenticity as it does for the passion of its celebrations!
Founded in 1984, the 18-day Blumenau Oktoberfest is a culturally-rich blend of folklore and tradition, and gives locals and tourists alike the chance to fully immerse themselves in a wide range of carefully preserved German customs — including of course, bratwursts and beer!
And because I haven’t found any video of Blumenau Oktoberfest in English, here is one from Conner Sullivan, a Youtuber, who visits Oktoberfest in Munich, where the World’s Largest festival happens.
