Every year, the largest and most important beer feast in pure
German style takes place in the
fair
complex
of
Marina di Carrara. A
Bavarian team takes care of the event in collaboration with Italian
locals. It is a cultural exchange between the two twin cities of Carrara
and
Ingolstadt
that has been taking place since 1962. The city of Carrara, organises
each year in Baviera the wine feast.

During the event, it is possible to taste three types of beer along with
the typical Bavarian dishes: blond beer, dark beer and Weizen beer. The
beer, as tradition now has it, arrives fresh by a special tanker that
maintains it at ideal temperature.
|
|
There are of course orchestras that play the typical music of the
Bavarian popular feasts and ballet companies that present their
traditional dances, involving the public. The twinning has then been
extended to the small Scottish town of Kirkald, which
participates with its own bagpipers.

To conclude this evening dedicated to beer, Bavarian food, music and
folklore, it is possible to buy really original souvenirs.
