Munich is home to the world’s largest beer festival—it started 210 years ago with a marriage ceremony that ended up on repeat—but you don’t have to hop on a plane to Germany to join in the fun. This season finds plenty of places to partake in this favorite fall tradition close to home. And some of the events are serving up brews for a good cause.
1. Westover Beer Garden & Haus Oktoberfest
Lederhosen and dirndls are encouraged at this weekend-long celebration, Sept. 28 and 29, featuring German-style beers on tap and live music. On Friday night, Fast Eddie and the Slowpokes take the stage from 6-10 p.m. On Saturday, Wilbur’s Redemption will be jammin’ from 5 -9 p.m. Bonus points if you bring your own stein.
