Beer Artprint // Cat Coquillette

Oktoberfest is the world's largest "Volksfest" (a beer festival and traveling fun-fair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16- to 18-day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October, with more than six million people from around the world attending the event every year. It's is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since the year 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations that are modeled after the original Munich event.

The first Munich Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig's marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. It originally took place in the 16-day period leading up to the first Sunday in October. In 1994, this longstanding schedule was modified in response to German reunification.

This collection of canvas art prints is inspired by that celebration, featuring striking, retro images dedicated to beer, drinking, and autumn.
