In case you're wondering...
YES, OKTOBERFEST IS STILL ON!
Yes, we are certainly going to get some rain, but when you have an Oktoberfest team as creative as ours, a great outdoor event can quickly become a great indoor event, and that’s just what they’ve done.
Large tents with walls and a tunnel to the building are being set up today. Bounce houses have been moved indoors, so there will be plenty of fun for the kids. POLKAMOTION will be playing great music and there will still be dancing!
And let’s not forget the food! We’ll still have our German supper, giant pretzels, Ernie’s award-winning brats, pizza, desserts, and our famous beer garden.
It may look a little different, but it’s still a Cornerstone Oktoberfest and we can’t wait to celebrate with you here Friday night! PROST!!
Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit!
