Oktoberfest Season
You don’t have to travel to the Alps to get a taste of Oktoberfest.
Here — in and around the Adirondacks — we have our own Oktoberfest traditions that highlight excellent local beers. Most of our local breweries produce fresh Oktoberfest-style brews during this season, so be sure to visit all of them and sample their seasonal offerings.
They’re the perfect pairing with the crisp, autumnal air along with some bratwurst and pretzels!
Lake Placid Pub & Brewery’s Oktoberfest is coming up Oct. 5. They will have food, games, music, and of course, great beer! There is also an annual 5k to start the day off.
This is the 9th year of the Lake George Village Oktoberfest organized by Adirondack Pub & Brewery. This celebration is a 3-day Bavarian-style festival on Canada Street during Columbus Day weekend — Oct. 11-13.
