All things German – and Italian and Mexican, too – were featured at the last day of the 13th annual Chattanooga Oktoberfest festivities, the oldest and largest such celebration in the region.

This is the first time the regional event encompassed five days, starting as a one-day affair and then spreading to two.

Jaimie Wilson, of Chattanooga, was among a sea of tourists and locals walking the area at this year’s celebration Sunday.

“I came for beer,” she said.

Nick Wilson, her husband, and Cindy Wiegand, her mother, came for food.
