Oktoberfest: Trachtenumzug

Villages and towns from all over the state of Bavaria participate proudly in the annual Trachten Umzug  at Oktoberfest. I was really impressed with the parade. Each group wears the traditional costume of their village. There were also plenty of marching bands, flag bearers and horsemen. I'll post more in the week to come. Photo taken in September 2015.
