Nexton Oktoberfest

Dust off your lederhosen and join Nexton for a day of food and fun in the Brown Family Park for an Oktoberfest celebration!

Bring a chair or toss down a blanket, and enjoy the sounds of the Sauerkraut Band, one of the East Coast's premiere oom-pah bands. Their musical styles include traditional "beer tent" favorites, such as Leichtensteiner and Beer Barrel Polka, and group-participation numbers, such as the Chicken Dance. During breaks, there will be a Bavarian-clad dancer to teach you some fancy new moves.

The whole family will enjoy bocce, cornhole and other traditional Oktoberfest games. And kids can spend time at KinderGarten making pretzel necklaces or taking part in a mini-pumpkin toss. Even the family dog can get in on the action with a Best-Dressed Dog contest (must be on a leash).

The great folks from the Carolina Ale House will be serving up a delicious German-style menu and seasonal German beers (as well as domestics). No outside food or drink, please. Government-issued ID's required.

Advance-purchase tickets are required for everyone over 12. Your admission fee will include a fabulous souvenir pint glass. Get tickets today!
