The event is open to all ages and will feature live music, food and drinks, games, dancing and more.

The celebration of Oktoberfest will begin with a parade and an official keg tapping at 5 p.m.

The 2 Tone Lizard Kings and Black Bottom Lighters will be headlining the live music on the main stage that evening.

The fun will continue on Oct. 12 with the 28th annual Runnin’ for the Brats along with a soccer and volleyball tournament as well.

The Instant Classics and Wyves will be performing onstage during the second day.

Attendees can expect to enjoy a Bartles & Jaymes Sunday Brunch to go along with Sunday Funday deals until 8 p.m.

Sunday will also mark the return of the Dachshund Races and the performance of the Das Aubachtal Sextett group from Regensburg, Germany.
