Soak in the sprawling downtown views and beautiful sunsets, as the park buzzes with traditional Schuplatt dancing. Alphorn performances and keg tappings throughout the weekend! Enjoy live music and traditional Schuplatt dancers, a delicious assortment of German and Bavarian foods, and a wide variety of German beers. Watch or participate in a wide range of custom-crafted Oktoberfest Games to win fun prizes and bragging rights. Oktoberfest Games will include challenges such as Barrell rolling, Stein Hoisting, Brat Tossing, Carry the Wench and much more. A separate Corn Hole game field with competition will be set up over the weekend, as well as a kids friendly play zone with fun entertainment!
