This year, don’t forget to try the Laugen Bavarian pretzels directly imported from Germany. These delectable pretzels come salted to perfection, and for an extra flavor kick, dip them into a cup of cheese for just $2.

There will be more than 30 vendor booths with food, drinks, T-shirts, arts and crafts, and a lot more.

But Oktoberfest isn’t just about the food and drinks. It’s an event for the whole family that will be fun for everyone. Kids will have a great time with things like a giant slide that goes up high, exciting rock climbing, bouncy houses, and face painting that is fun and creative.
