Addison Oktoberfest 2017 + Giveaway

Steins of beer, sauerkraut, and bratwurst, oh my!

Sound like your cup of (insert German word for tea)?

I've got just the thing for you.

One of the largest and most authentic Oktoberfest celebrations outside of Munich takes place right here in Addison, Texas, and this year it'll be celebrating its 30th anniversary on top of this year's festivities on September 14-17.

The nation's best Bavarian blast draws over 70,000 fans to Addison to partake in the German food extravaganza, plentiful polka, and of course, beer. In fact, attendees will enjoy the same Paulaner Bier that will be served at Oktoberfest in Germany.

In addition to the same authentic beer, you'll also find similar activities, music, sing-a-longs, and polka dancing, and definitely the food that an attendee would find in Munich.

I know you're thinking "Why don't they have Oktoberfest in October?"  right? But in an effort to keep the fest totally authentic, Addison times their event alongside the real Munich celebration. (Want to know more check out this article for timing)

Continuous entertainment on multiple stages is par for the course, with featured bands like the Munich Evergreens, who travel from Germany to perform. Grammy Award-winning polka artist Alex Meixner will also be performing, along with numerous other polka bands, adding to the true German Oktoberfest environment.

Those looking for other entertainment will enjoy the dachshund races, bier barrel bowling, a German Idol yodeling contest, and a German spelling bee, plus carnival rides, midway games, and other fun geared just for kids.

Food-minded individuals like myself- don't miss the intimate experience at Chamberlain's Brady Haus, with full-service Bavarian dining, featuring an exclusive menu.

Free parking for the event is located at the northwest corner of Dallas Pkwy and Arapaho Rd.
