Oktoberfest
With over 30 beers and ciders, eight live bands and three biergartens, this late September celebration will surely be a blast. A ticket to this two day event will get you a pint glass and eight 4-ounce tastings or two full beers. There will also be free root beer on Saturday for children 12 and under so the whole family can partake in the fun. Plus, there's brownie points for suiting up in traditional Bavarian dirndls and lederhosen.
