Prost! ‘Tis the season to raise a mug of beer in celebration for Oktoberfest. There are many festivals with German Beer flowing all around the Northwest. I started by going to the Fremont Oktoberfest last weekend.
Here are just a few coming up:
Oktoberfest in Leavenworth is the largest and one of the most recognized in the region. For three weekends, starting September 30th through October 15th, Leavenworth is packed with people eager to dust off their lederhosen and craving a liter of Hofbrau beer. With such an authentic Bavarian setting in Leavenworth, it’s easy to feel as if you’ve been transported into Germany, especially after a few drinks.
Oktoberfest Northwest in Puyallup is held at the fairgrounds October 7th- 9th. This festival is not too far from Seattle and more family friendly. You can grab a brat and a beer then challenge your hammer skills while playing a game of Hammerschlagen. They even have wiener dog races on Sunday.
Here are a couple others you can check out:
Oktoberfest Tacoma, October 1st
Anacortes Oktoberfest- Bier on the Pier, October 7th- 8th.
