Events DC continues the first-ever International City Food Festival with Taste of Oktoberfest on Friday, October 14 in Franklin Park (1332 I Street NW). The iconic Oktoberfest is a world-renowned German folk festival held annually in Munich, attracting more than six million people from around the world. Revelers flock to Bavaria in search of German beer, music and food. To honor and celebrate this long-standing tradition, Events DC has partnered with the German-American Heritage Foundation and the German Embassy to bring a truly authentic taste of the legendary festivities to DC.

The one-of-a-kind experience will feature food and drink from local German eateries as well as entertainment curated by the German Embassy. Attendees will enjoy a full Bavarian market offering everything from traditional Lebkuchen (gingerbread hearts), spiced nuts, and Kirchmayer Chocolates, as well as a range of German meats and sausages, strudels, pretzels and packaged foods. Entertainers will take the stage, including traditional Bavarian dancing (Schuhplatteln), and music (Alphorns and cowbells). Each Taste of Oktoberfest ticket includes a complimentary beer for attendees 21+ (ID required), and access to the Oktoberfest Market featuring a selection of beers, foods and goods.
