What to do in Scotland for St Andrew's Day 2017

St Andrew’s Day is celebrated on the feast day of St Andrew (November 30th). As we look forward to this year’s St Andrew’s Day celebrations it’s important to know the history behind this national day. St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland whose feast day has been celebrated for over a thousand years. St Andrew's philosophy was simple: share what you have with those less fortunate and be kind to each other. Each year we celebrate these principles with a host of parties and special events for everyone to enjoy! The day is usually marked with a celebration of Scottish culture, including dancing, music, food and drink, with parties going on long into the cold winter night. If you’re visiting Scotland during this time or you’re a local looking to experience something different this year, their is plenty on the program.

Oktoberfest, Munich's beer festival!

On 16 September, the Mayor of Munich will officially declare the Oktoberfest festivities open. Like every year, he will shout "O'Zapft is!" Which means "the party begins" when the first barrel of beer has been tapped. Thus begins a surprising festival where more than 6 million liters of beers are consumed ... amounting to an ocean of suds!!
