Listen: Der Biergarten Owner Sean Derfield
In support of Der Biergarten and the annual Oktoberfest celebration, the Midtown Association is announcing a “takeover” of 24th & K Streets on Saturday, September 30 from 3 to 9 p.m. (street closures start at 9 a.m. for set-up). The crowd favorite event will feature entertaining live music by the Gruber Family Band playing the best in traditional Oktoberfest music, as well as the award-winning DJ Eddie Z and their MC Tommy G. Attendees will enjoy German beer, German entertainment, German food, and the opportunity to play games such as the highly anticipated stein holding competition with the chance to win great prizes. The community is also encouraged to dress in traditional German attire such as dirndls and lederhosen.
The 2023 Oktoberfest event is open to adults ages 21 and over (a valid ID is required for admission). A limited number of tickets are available, and the event is expected to sell out early. Tickets cost $20 per person this year and guests have the option to purchase drink tickets in advance online to save time waiting in line at the (cash only) event. Advance tickets are available here.
