What’s on the Agenda?
This year’s festival is going all out with a variety of activities. There will be plenty of local and international traditional malty Oktoberfest beers flowing throughout the event, allowing everyone to find something they love. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or eager to try something new, the beer selection will not disappoint!
And let’s not forget about the food—Von Elrod’s is famous for its delicious pretzels and bratwursts, which will be served from their new beer garden food truck. Perfect for pairing with your favorite brew! But that’s not all: the festival will feature lively music from DJs, and for those feeling adventurous, there will be stein-holding contests. Who doesn’t want to see how long they can hold a stein full of beer? It’s sure to bring out the competitive spirit in everyone!
Family Fun and a Special 21+ Day
One of the best parts of Von Elrod’s Oktoberfest is that it welcomes everyone! The event is designed to be family-friendly on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, so feel free to bring the kiddos along for some wholesome fun. However, Saturday is set aside for those aged 21 and up only. This is when the real party cranks up with a ticketed throwdown that promises to be an unforgettable night.
If you’re interested in going all out for the Saturday celebration, you can purchase a Prost Party Pass for $99 plus taxes and fees. This ticket grants you re-entry access and a VIP experience that lets you enjoy all the perks of the festival. But be aware, this year is cashless, so come prepared with your credit or debit card!
Bring Your Friends
Whether you’re a long-time Oktoberfest enthusiast or you’re new to the celebration, this is an opportunity to soak in the fun, the camaraderie, and the great atmosphere that Von Elrod’s is known for. It’s the perfect chance to gather with friends, devour tasty food, and enjoy a drink while surrounded by the playful spirit of the festival.
One thing to note: Due to the expected crowds, dogs will not be allowed at the event this year. So, make sure to find a cozy spot for your furry friend while you party it up!
