Oktoberfest

OKTOBERFEST!  One of the few times per year where you can get drunk at a family festival and you won’t need to feel guilty!  You can use the excuse “it’s part of the culture and tradition.”  Oktoberfest is like St. Patrick’s Day – not too many people really know the origin of the holiday, but that doesn’t stop them from drinking beer to pay homage to another nation’s tradition.  Enjoy the delicious food, variety of performances and of course the vendors selling all kinds of crafts.  Whether it’s in the German tradition or random crap sold by some lady with too much time on her hands, it’s still fun to check out the goodies.  

Fredricksburg, New Braunfels, and Austin have some of the larger Oktoberfest activities in the area, so make sure to check out the websites to find out about schedules and location.  Don’t forget Wurstfest in New Braunfels in November!  You know I’ll be there, I hear it’s going to be a real Sausage-fest.
