Oktoberfest
Prost!
It’s more than just bending elbows. Oktoberfest is weeks of fun for the whole family, featuring activities, live music, traditional Bavarian fare, over 50 varieties of beer and an array of local vendors. This highly-anticipated festival begins August 12 and lasts through October 15, 2023, taking place every Saturday and Sunday, along with Labor Day.
