Eat Street Northshore's Oktoberfest

Overview

This weekend, say danke schön to Eat Street Northshore's Oktoberfest celebrations — two action-packed weekends of indulging in classic Bavarian eats like pork knuckle and German-style potatoes, as well as live music, games and of course, beer. 

From Friday, September 26 to Sunday, October 5, Eat Street comes alive with four stages of live music and entertainment. Performances include Aussie country music duo Route 33, DJ Jonny Drama on the decks and rockabilly outfit Whistle Dixie Band on the main deck. For a more traditionally German experience, the Alpine bell-playing group, Alpenrosen Bell Players, will provide a ringer of a performance (get it?) while The Oompaholics provide the perfect introduction to a traditional German oompah band, but with a pop/rock twist. 

There's also an abundance of German biers and brews that you can sip away at by the stein, as well as eats like sausage pizza and pork sausage lollipops. However, the arguably biggest drawcard of these action-packed weekends is the best-dressed dachshund competition, where adorable sausage dogs compete for who has the cutest outfit.

For just $6, the entry fee is a no-brainer for those who want to experience that electric Oktoberfest atmosphere. Plus, kids under 13 can enter for free. For more information about Eat Street Northshore's Oktoberfest, visit the website.
