Sunday Oct. 11

A totally re-imagined Oktoberfest is coming to Dickson Street this weekend. The festival will include four stages of live music and entertainment with a polka band, keg rolling competitions, stein races for local bar and restaurant employees, and tons of food vendors serving up their best German (or whatever) dishes. There will be a bratwurst competition sponsored by Ozark Natural Foods called “You’re the Wurst,” and a ‘Mr. Oktoberfest” pageant at Kingfish at 2 p.m.

And of course, there will be tons and tons of local beer. Lots of events are free, and access to the beer gardens range from $5-$20 depending on what package you get (and you can get a discount if you’re dressed to the nines in your best German/Bavarian garb). The event begins at noon and runs until 9 p.m. or so. Here’s our full guide to all the fun.
