This beer-fueled event is filled to the brim with traditional German food and entertainment for your entire Von Trapp family! What could be better than sitting under a ginormous tent drinking a years worth of beer in 2 weekends, while attempting to dance the polka? Ummmm...nothing. Well maybe playing kickball...but we digress.
This years Oktoberfest features a gaggle of German singers and bands like the Golden Keys, Melody Lane, Richard Brandl, and more. Now is NOT the time to reserve your yodeling for the Ricola Cough Drops commercials. It's time to sing as if your name were Heidi and you live in the Alps with your Gramps! There will be hours of live entertainment, including performances by Joe Maloy "Mr. Oktoberfest, and by Hilby the Skinny German Juggle Boy. No we're serious, this dude will be there. When your country idolizes David Hasselhoff, this is what you get.
If you can't make it to Munich this year, don't worry, there are over 150 Oktoberfests across the U.S. and Canada alone. And ironically, there is one right in our very own backyard that is pretty damn sweet. It's not often where you can wear leather shorts and dress socks without being punched in the face, so you might as well take advantage of it. If you don't have any good German attire to sport this year - no worries. They'll be plenty of funky hats, pipes, clogs, suspenders, and steins to purchase at the event for the whole family.
Hopefully we'll get to say Guten Tag to some of our NACKA Kickballers at Oktoberfest this year. It won't be hard to find us, we'll be the ones under the tent putting schnitzel on our weiners. Prost!
