Against tradition, the couple invited Munich's common people to the festivities. The events were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gatesnow called Theresienwiese (Theresas Meadow) after the bride. Forty thousand people showed up. A year later, they decided to throw the party all over again as an anniversary tribute to the royal couple.Long Dog RunLong Dog Derby - September 26, 10am - 2pmGet your wieners ready to race!
