For this purpose, patterns of traditional costumes and individual items of historical clothing were collected from all Bavarian backgrounds and costumes were sewn for the participants of the procession. Today, these costumes are a model for the next processions that take place on the first Oktoberfest Sunday. It is the largest parade of national costumes in the world, with about 9,000 participants from Bavaria and all over Europe. The multicolored procession is 7 km long.
