Break out the lederhosen and turn up the oompah music, because a Florida-style Oktoberfest is coming to the ‘Burg this fall. Hosted by Event Tree Festivals at The Coliseum, the inaugural OktoBEERfest Food and Beer Festival is a celebration of Bavarian beer, food, music and games.

Coming on Saturday, October 9th from 4-8 pm, the Oktoberfest celebration is equal parts craft beer festival and theme party. Drinking from massive steins and “Das Boot” drinkware, festival-goers will be able to sample and select a variety of craft, domestic and authentic German beers, as well as cocktails from local distilleries. (Cocktails definitely not served by the liter.)

Alongside Oktoberfest music, there will be a cornucopia of traditional German food, with offerings like schnitzel, currywurst, bratwurst, German potato salad, apple strudel, and of course, giant pretzels.
