The last weekend of September is the Fremont Oktoberfest – one of the greatest beer festivals in the world! Seriously! The organizers, Bold Hat Productions, have the awards to prove it.
However, the festival depends upon the generosity of a huge cadre of volunteers – including you! Particularly on Saturday evening, September 24th, for the 7p – close (11:45p) shift. Fremont Oktoberfest needs pour-ers to get the beer out and keep the festival from having to shut down early.
At this year’s Fremont Oktoberfest, on September 23, 24 & 25, the tasting garden features over 80 microbrews, imports, and German beers.
Labor Day weekend might turn thoughts to Bumbershoot or Burning Man, but this year, seriously, think about how it is the First Friday of the month, on September 2nd, and from 6p – 9p it will be the Fremont Art Walk!
