Widmer Brother Brewing’s Oktoberfest returns for a seventh year celebrating Munich-style ales and German food and music.
Widmer Brother’s Oktoberfest is a tribute to the world-renowned celebration in Munich, Germany, which draws more than six million people annually during the 16-day festival.
Widmer Brother’s version, although smaller in scale, is large in Oktoberfest spirit, drawing 5,000 attendees to this annual block party. The festival features a variety of craft beers, German-style food, accordion players, and live music throughout the day including Dr. Theopolis. The Quick & Easy Boys, Empty Space Orchestra, Hey Marseilles, and Colin Lake & Wellbottom. Attendees can also bring steins from previous years to the event. All beer and food is purchased with tokens, which cost $1 each. Patrons pay six tokens for a souvenir stein, five tokens for a full stein of beer and food items are $1-$7. Sales of steins and tokens end at 10:30 p.m., one hour prior to the close of the event.
