Oktoberfest Hits the North Shore at Glenview Haus' 4th Annual Tent Party

Glenview House to host an all-day Oktoberfest celebration with live German band, grub, grog and kids activities on September 19th, 2015.

Inspired by the world’s most popular German event, Glenview “Haus” will host the North Shore’s most exciting and authentic all-day Oktoberfest celebration this side of Munich on Saturday, September 19. The 4th annual festival will feature authentic grub, grog and live German music in the 80×30’’ Oktoberfest tent located in the railroad parking lot directly west of the restaurant.

The Beer
Guests can say ‘prost’ with Glenview Haus’ liters ($12), half liters ($7) and 14oz cups ($5) of Munich’s Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, Hacker-Pschorr Weis and Sam Adams Oktoberfest brews. Once entering the tent party, event-goers will have the option to purchase liter and half liter commemorative cups ($5 each) while attendees from years past can bring their signature Glenview Haus cups with them to use throughout the day.

The Food
Oktoberfest isn’t just about beer as Chef Jeff Modica will prove with his festive Bavarian food specialties from brats ($5), giant pretzels ($8) and a German Plate ($8) loaded with a brat, German potato salad and sauerkraut.
