This weekend has plenty going on, but you will truly miss out if you don’t at least stop by Fremont Oktoberfest on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday, September 23rd – 25th. The fun begins Friday at 5p, and extends to Sunday at 6p – with plenty going on, in addition to serving up great beer!
On Sunday morning, the Oktoberfest 5K will hit the roadway – and volunteers are still needed to help monitor the race track. Want to get in to Oktoberfest’s award-winning ticketed beer garden for free? Volunteer! Contact Jessica Vets, of the Fremont Chamber, for more info, at director@fremont.com
Also, check out a few tips from the Fremont Oktoberfest-ers on ways to enhance your experience at the festival –
- Tip #1: Buy tickets in advance! Purchase tickets online, or at an advance ticket outlet, in advance to feel like a VIP! By-pass the lines, and enter the Tasting Garden faster. Hurry! Ticket prices increase in price on Friday, September 23rd at 12:01am.
- Secret Tip #1B: Shhhhh… When purchasing tickets online, use promo code YODEL at checkout to receive two extra tasting tokens.
- Tip #2: A Fremont Oktoberfest iPhone app, presented by The Seattle Times, can be downloaded for planning your weekend.
- Tip #3: Don’t breeze by the FREE Fremont Oktoberfest Village area this year! The all ages Village has entertainment, food, and shopping, plus the Texas Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving Contest and the CityDog Magazine Cover Dog Model Contest!
- Tip #4: Skip the samples; head straight for the stein! For those who want to skip the microbrew tastings, but still want beer, purchase a Non-Tasting Admission for $15 and enter the Tap House Grill Buxom Beer Garden to purchase your choice of a 16oz brew, ½ liter stein or a 1-liter stein of Bayern Oktoberfest and/or Bayern Pilsener.
Most important, enjoy the weekend and all Oktoberfest has to offer! After all, this festival benefits the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, and its work strengthening the business climate at the Center of the Universe!
