What/Why:
Complete with traditional German music, polka dancing and food and beer. The historic and quaint backdrop of Saint Anthony Main and the natural beauty of the Mississippi River bank make for the idyllic Oktoberfest setting. Admission and music will be FREE for all ages. IDs will be required to obtain a wristband for purchasing beer and wine.

Patrons will enjoy authentic German food from an array of great imported beers in our Biergartens. Join in the fun and games such as the beer barrel roll and the Hammerschlagen (nail driving). Don't forget the cutest part: the Dachshund Dash!

Oktoberfest fall festival is located along Main Street S.E. on the banks of the Mississippi River adjacent to St. Anthony Main. Most of the events are held under tents and under the Central Ave Bridge, protected from the weather, so the event will be held rain or shine.

I believe there should be info about the Dachshund Dash on the Oktoberfest website closer to the event.

You better dress her up, Nate.

Plus if the kids start to lose patience you can take a walk to the nearby Stone Arch Bridge or Water Power Park to observe the St. Anthony Falls!

The Hammerschlagen guy got drunk. It was hilarious. The band was AWESOME. Two guys playing cover songs with only their voices and guitars...Guns and Roses...Garth Brooks...Bon Jovi...seriously, it was fantastic. And beers are only $4. What a fabulous night.
