Photos: Sippin' in Simpsonville's "Oktoberfest"

Despite threatening skies, hundreds came out Saturday night to Sippin in Simpsonville's "Oktoberfest," which took over downtown and treated festival-goers to an array of craft beers, German food, and music from classic rock cover band, Hot as a Pepper.

Sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce, the event helped to spotlight a whole host of downtown businesses, as well as raise money for a good cause.

This iteration of Sippin,' the third event so far, will benefit the Simpsonville Arts Foundation. SAFI provides support to artists of all genres living and performing in Simpsonville.

The Sippin’ in Simpsonville events began one year ago with a mission to increase awareness of Main Street Simpsonville business offerings and to give back to the community.  

The previous two Sippin‘ in Simpsonville events have given back almost $4,000 between previous benefit partners — The United Hospice Foundation, and Generations Group Home.
