Oktoberfest 2012 Continued

  Day 2 - The Folk Parade
On Sunday, September 23rd there was another parade that lasted about 2 hours, and consisted of folk groups, village drum and brass marching bands, officials, and of course, the breweries.  It was different from the first parade in that there were more traditional costumes on display.  Everyone had a great time at both parades, and both parades ended at the Theresienwiese.  Below are some pictures from the second parade.
