3rd Annual Oktoberfest at Wunder Garten
Beer garden resumes tradition of hosting largest locally run celebration
Wunder Garten at 1st & L St NE has announced the 3rd Annual Oktoberfest will begin Friday, September 22 and continue through Sunday, September 24. The celebrations include traditional German food, games, beer and family-friendly events (includes furry family members).
Each day will feature steinholding competitions along with a special lineup of events (see below). Draft beers in Oktoberfest Märzen-style hail from Bavaria's oldest breweries like Spaten, Weihenstephaner, Hofbräuhaus, accompanied by a select lineup of seasonal locally brewed beers. Throughout the weekend, Café Berlin will provide authentic German fare, including grilled bratwurst, bauernwurst, bretzels und obatzter, original potato salad, gurkensalat, and sauerkraut.
Friday, 4pm – 12am
- 5pm: Taping of the first Spaten Oktoberfest Keg
Traditionally, each Oktoberfest begins with the mayor of Munich tapping the first keg of Spaten beer with the jubilant cry of “O’zapft is!” (“It’s tapped!”). Incidentally, the skill the mayor displays and the number of hammer blows he has to use, play a large role in his popularity.

The festivities continue with live music, beer, food, and games.
Saturday, 12pm – 12am
- 12pm to 4pm: Family Oktoberfest
