A huge tent will be set up for Oktoberfest-goers to enjoy German festivities outside. Expect to find plenty of German fare (think Bavarian pretzels, frankfurters, bratwurst and more) and a wide selection of authentic German beers. 

As for live entertainment, there will be music from the Ja Ja Jas, a DJ and a drumline to kick off the festivities. Plus, the GTV Almrausch dancers will be back to show off their authentic German dance moves.
