Cannstatter Volksfest (2 October 2010)

This is one of the biggest beer festivals in the world, well second largest anyway, and it is held right here in Stuttgart. The 165th festival opened their gates offering rides, entertainment, food, and most importantly, beer. As soon as you board the S-Bhan toward Bad Constatt many people are seen wearing dirndl's and lederhosen. And the closer we get to the festival the more the people pack on the train and the more they are dressed. Once we got there we could see the ferris wheel. Finally at our stop, we couldn't even move once out of the train; we were all packed like sardines making our way toward the festival. Empty wine and beer bottles lined the streets along with other sorts of trash, showing that it really must be one crazy party! Upon walking through the entrance I was taken aback. Droves of people were everywhere and music was blasting and there were an array of rides to please any carnival goer. And the games, they were around every corner. The best part however were the tents. It was like stepping into the jungle or a sauna it was so hot. Celebrators stood on the tables dancing, drinking and singing. It was a party unlike any other. I swear if they ever had anything this wild and crazy in the states, it would be one massive mob and fights would break out everywhere. Anyway, we had our liters of beer and half chicken while sweating and singing to songs like "Time Warp" and "I've Had The Time of My Life." We even spotted jesus there, dancing and drinking in his lederhosen; not to mention the fact that he was taller than I thought he would be, I mean he was about a 7 inches taller than Nick!

I believe this is what nick captured along the way:
