Oktoberfest Begins Sept. 19th - Oct. 4th

Oktoberfest is the world’s largest Volksfest (beer festival and traveling funfair). Held annually in Munich, Germany, it is a 16 to 18 day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October, with more than 6 million people from around the world attending every year.

Oktoberfest in is our time to bust out the Lederhosen and display our secret love for polka music. Check out some nearby places to grab a apfelstrudel and sausage and celebrate!

Stay true to Oktoberfest customs by toasting your fellow table mates in the Bavarian style! Tradition mandates that you click the base of your glass and say “Prost!” (Cheers!), while maintaining strong eye contact. Everyone then bumps their glass back on the table before taking a hearty sip. Prost!
