Oktoberfest Coming To Parkville Market Sept. 20

Press release from Parkville Market:

Sept. 14, 2021

Oktoberfest is coming to Connecticut’s first food hall, Sept. 20 through Oct. 3.

Parkville Market, a dining and entertainment destination in the heart of Hartford, will be filled with the sounds of polka, the sights of lederhosen, and the taste of tradition.

As part of a two-week celebration at Parkville Market, modeled after the famed event that takes place in Munich each year, there will be two 21+ ticketed events on Saturday, September 25th, and Saturday, October 2nd! Sponsored by Sam Adams, the events combine the German music, food, and culture of this age-old festival with Connecticut’s eminent food and entertainment hub!

The Saturday events will run from noon to 4 p.m. in The Hall, a secondary dining and event space within Parkville Market. There will be live German music, several beer bars, specialty foods, raffle prizes, and a stein-hoisting contest in which the winner will be entered into a national drawing for a chance to enjoy the 2022 Oktoberfest in Munich.

Tickets are $65 and can be purchased on Eventbrite.

Each ticket includes:

• Eight food and beer/cocktail tickets to be used towards the delicious specials offered within The Hall (menu below!)
• 17 oz. Sam Adams Stein
• Lederhosen Koozie
• Oktoberfest T-shirt
• Sam Adams Oktoberfest Pin & German Hat
• Lederhosen Oktoberfest Suspenders aka Gschirr

The first 40 ticket holders will receive a 32oz. Sam Adams large boot instead of a stein.

Specialty Food Pop-Ups inside the Hall:

• Randy’s Wooster St. Pizza:
  • Large Pretzels with assorted toppings and sauces
• Frisbie’s Dairy Barn:
  • Limited-time Oktoberfest Flavor: German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream
  • Assorted Ice Cream Sandwiches
• The Portly Pig:
  • Smoked Beer Bratwurst Grinders with assorted toppings

If beer and bratwurst aren’t your thing, you can still visit the more than 20 culturally diverse food vendors at Parkville. The market will be open normal business hours during the two-week festivities. Look for daily beer specials Mondays through Thursdays, Trivia Tuesdays, and outdoor live music on Thursdays. There will also be a Biergarten on Fridays, featuring local brewers.
Parkville Market is located at 1400 Park St. Parking is available on site and in three adjacent lots.
