Thank goodness for the veteran that dreamed up a little German town in GA! As a veteran I truly felt a dash of Germany while visiting Helen, but it ain’t nothin’ like the real thing. But Helen, GA is the next best thing.
OH !! the stories I could tell about Helen, Ga. In the late '70's / early '80's when I was the Budweiser salesman for Helen, Ga. The Hot Air Balloon Races / The Budweiser Clydesdales on Parade !! My best memories was the HUGE paychecks I got from Budweiser Sales. Just kidding. I truly loved those days in Helen, Ga. It is a wonderful memory of a lifetime.
Wow..this place is insane..haha... Heidelberg, Bodensee my goodness. Tudor houses beautiful.. bretzel ..beer.. German culture is so rich and you are so blessed to experience it in this little town. They truly did a good job. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Awesome indeed.
I found an abandoned gold mine in Helen, Ga. The Helen and Dahlonega Georgia area was where the 1st gold rush started. I filmed the Helen Ga. gold mine on my UA-cam channel, N.Ga. Mine freaks with my son.
How is this the oldest Oktoberfest in the world? The one in Munich started in 1810. There are a couple in Southern California that go back to 1969 and 1970.
U should be in Munich during Oktoberfest, I used to live there , I so miss it it so much, I lived in ramersdorf, in ottobrunn, which is a really a subdivisions n of munchen, ( Munich )
Original.. Belgium flag. Oh, and by the way first Octoberfest was helt in Munich in 1810. And this goes back to the older Scharlachrennen, which goes back in the 1400s...
what they mean by longest running is not ending. They don’t mean for it to be first. I think you taking this seriously its all in good fun. Think of it like a theme park of sorts.
lol, As a german i have to say that this is about as authentic german as disneyland depicts the real USA. This is an exaggerated cartoon version of bavaria which maybe corresponds to 10% of reality. And bavaria is only one of 16 states. That's ridiculous.
It's all in fun. Something to do if someone wants to get away for a weekend. I live in Atlanta, about an hour and half south of there. And yeah it's silly, but it's just for fun.
This is just the American version of something we’ve altered to make more fun. It’s like our Mexican and Chinese restaurants have just a little to do with the cultures indicated by the sign. Loosen your lederhosen my brother; it’s all in fun. I Love Helen Ga myself and I’ve had some great times there.
This place, to a certain extent, is what Gatlinburg USED to be like. Nowadays, except for the Village, it is an overrated idiotic tourist shithole trap.
You might want to check your "facts" there. The longest running Oktoberfest in the world is certainly not in Helen, Georgia. LMAO The original public Oktoberfest in Munich goes back to the 19th century. 48 years in Helen? Really? Dude, you're not going to grow as channel with misinformation like this.
Calm down, man. "The longest running" in this case means "it never ends". That is, it has run since the time it started, and has ever stopped ergo "longest running". That's all. It's a quirk of many languages that lends itself to many words and phrases conveying a plurality of sometimes even seemingly erroneous meanings. You're all worked up about nothing. They are super clear that they are not the oldest in existence. LMAO

The oldest and original is Munich. Nothing close to anything Bavarian but I’m glad they are trying.

Thanks for the comment, Luftcommandant Buzzkill.

hi po ate from ate arlene kitchen po
This is cute but nothing close to a fraction of the real thing. Look at the real Oktoberfest on UA-cam. Go to Munich if you can afford it.
Total abgefahren. Germany should really be like Helen in Georgia.
Shove your plastic bier mas krug! No glass, no class!
