Let’s face it, in Australia, Oktoberfest is not really a family party, unless you are of German descent and you are celebrating this tradition. As Oktoberfest is a festival of beer culture, it is mainly celebrated by young adults as a great way to celebrate the end of the cold weather and to welcome in Spring.
Each year the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) promotes an event for school children called Book Week. Each year there will be a particular theme, and you can find costumes that relate to children's’ literature for youngsters of all ages.
Cheerleading uniforms are still popular costume ideas even though in Australia, we do not really have cheerleaders. This is because we enjoy American popular culture and many girls enjoy dressing up in cheerleading uniforms.
