If this were a regular year, Oktoberfest would be finishing up soon in Munich and other cities around the globe that have chosen to adopt the festival for themselves. Sadly, in this unusual year, those parties have been cancelled. But you can enjoy some of the fun yourselves at home!
FOOD
A good Oktoberfest must have authentic German food. You might want to try one of these yummy-sounding recipes. What’s your favorite?
Soft pretzels with honey mustard dipping sauce
Bratwurst with apples, onion and sauerkraut
BEER
There are many classic German beers to enjoy with your Oktoberfest. Or if you want to mix it up, we’ve had a blossoming of local breweries in recent years. Maybe now is a good time to check some out. (Note the limitations of each establishment in the COVID era.)
Montgomery Brewing in Montgomery
Giesenbräu Bier Co. in New Prague
Tanzenwald Brewing Company in Northfield

MUSIC
Turn on some traditional German music to make your home festival complete.
