Festivals and Pageants

 

The Oktoberfest is the biggest public festival in the world and will be held this year for the 166th time. Each year, the Oktoberfest is attended by around 6 million visitors - and this year, Miss Baillie will be one of them!

Sometimes they have smaller special shows for tourists and visitors. This man is dressed up in the kind of clothes they wore hundreds of years ago.

Mind you, his hat looks rather strange. Do you think they really would have worn a hat like that?

Maybe he was a court jester, or fool, and his job was to tell jokes and make people laugh.

These two men are dressed in full armour, like soldiers were back five hundred years ago. They are pretending to fight on horseback. The horses are very well trained, because they are not scared of the fire. Do you think the audience would be finding this exciting to watch?
