Grab your steins and lederhosen… because Oktoberfest is back at Parkville Market this October! Our patio will be transformed into the ultimate biergarten where Ayesheh Mae of Filthy Comedy will be hosting competitions like stein hoisting, keg hoisting, German spelling bee, yodeling, pretzel eating contest, and best dressed!
If you’re coming for the grub, then you’re in luck. The Portly Pig will be serving up smoked beer brat grinders and Spaetzle mac and cheese, and Taste of Portugal will be serving hot and fresh Bavarian pretzels with cheese and mustard, and a classic chicken schnitzel!
And of course an Oktoberfest would never be complete without BEER! We’ve partnered with Counter Weight Brewing Co. and Boston Beer Company and added a 12-tap bar out on the patio for super convenient beer stein refills!
This event is free to the public and will go on rain or shine. You can purchase food/beer vouchers online in advance or at the door both event days.
Already know you’re coming? Buy your vouchers ahead of time and earn yourself a refillable stein and super cool swag bag!
VOUCHERS ARE VALID BOTH EVENT DAYS!
