Long Island Oktoberfest 2016

Sept. 17 marked the the start of the 16-day-long German festival of Wiesn, or as most people know it, Oktoberfest, which debuts in Munich with the traditional tapping of the beer keg.

Hopping on a plane to Germany is an option, but revelers can also celebrate Oktoberfest here on Long Island, where many bars, restaurants, breweries and parks will be hosting related festivities.

German food such as schnitzel, sauerbraten and bratwurst are just some of the Bavarian delicacies that are being served. There will also be a large selection of fall-themed beverages to choose from, including pumpkin ales, hard ciders and so much more!

Raise a glass and say “Prost” (that’s German for cheers) during Oktoberfest 2016 at one of these events.
