3rd Annual Bend Oktoberfest
Reviewing an Oktoberfest beer on my beer blog the other day put me in the Oktoberfest mood, so I had to look up when the Bend version of the festival is this year. The 3rd annual Bend Oktoberfest is a month away, coming up on Saturday, September 29th.
It starts at noon and costs $5. It runs until 10pm, and kids are only allowed until 6pm. Same as last year, it'll occupy Oregon Avenue downtown, between Bond and Wall. Other highlights they list:
- Seasonal Beers from local breweries
- Oktoberfest Girls Competition
- Live Bavarian Music
- Traditional German food
- Beer Stein Challenge
- Hammerschlagen Contests
- Puppet Shows, Face Painting & a Kinderland area for the kids
I'm already checking my calendar...

Oktoberfest in September. Sounds like another winner. Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year. Let me know how it goes...after you get the Bedroom painted of course.

Oktoberfest always starts in September, actually. This year it's September 22 to October 7.

The Bend Oktoberfest has been a good time both years. I'm looking forward to it again this year.

I met my boyfriend at last year's oktoberfest! We're really looking forward to the awesome beers this year. I think its one of the best festivals bend has during the whole year. I don't remember it only being for one day though?
