SOMERS — Petrifying Springs Biergarten, in partnership with Kenosha County Parks, will celebrate Oktoberfest Friday through Sunday (Sept. 16-18).
The weekend of festivities will include live music, authentic German food and beer, food trucks from area vendors, best-dressed lederhosen and dirndl contests, pretzel-eating competitions, and more.
Admission is free. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
“This will be another great opportunity to celebrate fall and German culture in our county parks,” said Kenosha County Executive Samantha Kerkman, who will participate in a ceremonial keg tapping at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Petrifying Springs Biergarten is a private entity that operates under a lease agreement with Kenosha County Parks, with a portion of its revenue returned to the county for parks improvements. It is located on the far-south end of Petrifying Springs Park, 5555 Seventh St., Somers.
Oktoberfest celebrations have been a popular attraction at the Biergarten since it opened in 2017, said Mike Grab, co-owner.
“It’s hard to believe this will be our sixth Oktoberfest!” Grab said. “Time flies when you’re eating Bavarian pretzels and drinking amazing German bier! We invite you to join us and take part in an amazing weekend filled with family, friends and Gemütlichkeit!”
FRIDAY, Sept. 16 (4 to 9 p.m.)
SATURDAY, Sept. 17 (noon to 9 p.m.)
SUNDAY, Sept. 18 (noon to 8 p.m.)
