Berwyn's Oktoberfest

WHAT: Berwyn’s Oktoberfest sponsored by Paisans Pizzeria & Bar

WHEN: Fri, Sept 18 from 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm & Sat, Sept 19 from Noon to 11:00 pm

WHERE: Berwyn’s Depot District, intersection of Windsor Ave & Grove Ave just off the Metra BNSF line’s “Berwyn” station

WHY: September is just around the corner and that can only mean one thing in the Chicagoland festival calendar – Berwyn’s Oktoberfest! We don’t mean to brag, but Berwyn’s Oktoberfest is the western suburbs’ biggest party of the year. The event’s mid-September kick-off coincides with the original Munich Oktoberfest, which starts on September 19 this year. The event boasts live music, an international food court, carnival and amusement rides, family entertainment pavilion, and crafters and vendors. And let’s not forget the Beer Garden, which will feature special Oktoberfest seasonal selections among others!

On Saturday, the family pavilion welcomes a variety of interactive activities including face-painting, a bounce house and other games.

If devouring a variety of ethnic foods and washing it down with a healthy serving of beer while “prosting” friends and neighbors sounds good, then Oktoberfest is your answer to the end of summer blues! Admission is free.
