Blumenau is located in the middle of the Vale do Itajaí valley, also known as the "valley of Europe." Its climate and topography are quite similar to those of northern Italy. Each year, Blumenau welcomes over 800,000 visitors, with more than 700,000 attending the Oktoberfest festival. The first Oktoberfest in Blumenau was held in 1984 as a way to lift the spirits of the local people after a historic flood devastated the city.
Oktoberfest Blumenau is held at Parque Vila Germânica (“German Village”), a series of streets designed to resemble an old German town. During the festival (the last three weeks of October), parties are held continuously. Visitors can join the parties for between R$11 and R$60 (50% discount for children, teachers, and people with disabilities), enjoying traditional German food and craft beers. Even better, entry is free on the first and last days of the festival.
Oktoberfest Blumenau is more than just parties. Several other events are held within the festival grounds. There are traditional German entertainments such as Tanzgruppen (traditional team dances), Schützenvereine (shooting competitions)... and the most popular is the beer drinking contest. Each participant receives a 91.4cm long beer mug containing 1.4 liters of beer. The man and woman who finish the mug the fastest wins.
