Fredericksburg Oktoberfest
Here’s Texas oompah at its best.
Fredericksburg (map) celebrates its German heritage each year at an Oktoberfest on the Marktplatz that includes German music, food and drink, arts and crafts, and a children’s area.
This year — the 33rd — it’ll be the weekend of October 4 through 6, 2013.
There’ll be three stages with live entertainment, a German Bier Tent and Oktoberfest Vineyard area plus an OkTUBAfest and a Chicken Dance on Main. Hours are 6 p.m. to midnight October 4, 10 a.m. to midnight October 5 and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. October 6.
Admission is $7 for adults, $1 for kids 6 to 12, and under 6 are free. Tickets are available online until September 25, including two- and three-day discounted passes. (After that, pay at the gate.)
