VENTURA, Calif.(KEYT) — Ventura’s Oktoberfest celebration wrapped Sunday. 

The festival — which was originally a royal wedding celebration in 1810 — has now evolved into the world’s largest beer and folk festival in Munich, Germany. 

In Ventura, it took on a bit more country influence with line dancing and the cowboy hat making stations drawing some of the largest crowds. 

The festival included a free train ride where visitors could get an overview of what to expect before deciding where to spend their time. 

It also featured rides and games in addition to a variety of food options including some traditional German bites. 

Ventura is known for its burgeoning craft beer scene, so  it was only fitting for the festival to partner with 8 local breweries including Topa Topa, Ventura Spirits, and Transmission Brewing.
