CHICAGO - Chicago is going all-in this fall with a festive Oktoberfest season. From Wrigleyville’s first Oktoberfest to events throughout the city, here’s how to raise your stein and celebrate this September.

The backstory:

Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival and traveling funfair, originated in Munich, Germany, in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese.

Today, it’s a global celebration of Bavarian culture, filled with beer, bratwurst, music and merriment.
