Triangle Oktoberfest
Event Information
THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! Join us for the 6th Annual TRIANGLE OKTOBERFEST at Koka Booth Amphitheatre on Friday, October 18th and Saturday, October 19th!
In keeping with the “Service above Self” mission, the Apex Sunrise and Cary MacGregor Rotary Clubs have again partnered together in collaboration with the Town of Cary to host the 6th Annual Triangle Oktoberfest at Koka Booth Amphitheatre. We have created the largest and most authentic German festival in NC to celebrate German culture in the Triangle and to support charitable organizations here in our community and abroad.
Live entertainment will again showcase The Polka Brothers (a four-man band of young polka lovers from NYC known for their extensive repertoire of classic polka favorites, original compositions, and cover versions of contemporary songs), the most exciting Wiener Dog Races in NC, a kid-friendly Kinder Platz with inflatables and face painting. Masskrugstemmen (Stein Hoist) and Hammerschlagen (Hammer-Striking) competitions, and several new things for this year including the USVC Rappelling Team, the Beer Tasting Awards, and the Miss (and Mr.) Oktoberfest contest.
TRADITIONAL BAVARIAN BEER, FOOD, AND FARE
- Souvenir mugs, authentic ceramic steins, Alpine hats, and more
- Unlimited sampling glasses. Enjoy, but please drink responsibly.
- Over 40 Beers including Hofbrau, Paulaner, Bitburger, Konig Ludwig Dunkel, Ayinger, and Spaten from Mὓnich, along with a host of seasonal Oktoberfest beers and favorites from local craft breweries
- Traditional Bavarian food from Capital Club 16, Annelore’s German Bakery, other local vendors, and, of course, fire-grilled Brats!
