No Oktoberfest is complete without the right attire. Rock your best Lederhosen or Dirndl, which you can rent from Oktoberfest in the Garden’s website. They’re offering a heap of discounts and free shipping on orders over $150.
But there’s much more to Oktoberfest in the Gardens than just Beer Halls. Embrace the carnival atmosphere with multiple stages of live entertainment, DJs, thrill rides, roving performers, competitions, sideshow alley, silent disco, and even a Berghain inspired Rave Cave.
Of course, the highlight of any Oktoberfest is the food, and they won’t disappoint. Savour the best in authentic German delicacies like bratwurst and wash it down with a wide range of German beers, wines, and ciders.
