Oktoberfest is going strong in Germany right now. But this weekend, South Florida is getting a taste. Deco traveled to the far-off land of Wynwood to find out how you can raise a stein and leap around in your lederhosen.
Polka music, giant mugs of beer and plenty of authentic German food — this is what Oktoberfest is all about.
Tony Albelo: “We’re bringing Munich to Miami. Three days, it’s an all out Barvarian party.”
This weekend, Wynwood Marketplace will be transformed into a German style beer hall, and the suds will be flowing.
Tony Albelo: “Oktoberfest really is about that Oktoberfest beer and Sam Adams brews is the number one Oktoberfest beer in the country and that’s gonna be featured here.”
You can raise a pint or get your biceps in shape for the real deal.
Tony Albelo: “If you’re dainty and you want to have a regular pint, yeah you can, but if you want to, you can get the 24-ouncer and even bigger if you’re that daring.”
Snack on giant pretzels and German sausage. Then work it off with some sweet polka moves.
Tony Albelo: “No Oktoberfest celebration could be called authentic without a real life polka band, accordion players, we have it all. In addition to the great beer, we have a feature called Brewlympics, we have giant Jenga, beer pong, just all the fun beer games that you know.”
Plane ticket to munich? About $600.
Ticket to Wynwood’s Oktoberfest? Nien! Nien! Nien! No ticket required!
Tony Albelo: “It’s free to come in and there’s plenty of beer specials all day.”
