Blogger's Note: The following was provided by Building a Better Boyertown
Building a Better Boyertown’s Oktoberfest is entering its second decade with new and exciting activities.
This year’s event will be better than ever with more kids activities, more music and entertainment, an improved 5K run, a wide variety of food, and, of course, a great selection beer and wine.
The event will kick off in the Town Center Parking Lot on Friday, Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. offering a variety of draft beers selected not please every palette. Wines from the local area and beyond will also be offered.
Just as the people of Bavaria gathered each September two hundred years ago to celebrate the harvest, Building a Better Boyertown has hosted its own Oktoberfest celebration here in the heart of our small community, for the past ten years. Boyertown's Oktoberfest remains true to the original German Oktoberfest celebration by providing a market for local craftsman to display and sell their wares as well as providing entertainment and refreshments for all those that attend.
This event has provided the funds for the organization to engage in projects and activities that enhance and promote Downtown Boyertown and the greater Boyertown area.
Friday evening, food concessions will be available from local vendors starting at 5 p.m. At 7 p.m., music from Vuja De will entertain patrons for the evening.
Saturday morning, Sept 15th kicks off at 10 a.m. with an updated and enhanced 5K run that was organized in conjunction with Sly Fox Track. Registration for the 5K is available at www.pretzelcitysports.com
The food vendors and Beer tent will open at 11 a.m..
And Just as the Mayor of Munich opens the official Oktoberfest celebration, Boyertown's own Mayor and Council President will arrive via horse-drawn carriage at 11 a.m., for the ceremonial "tapping of the keg."
Of course, what would an Oktoberfest be without a variety of your favorite beverages to accompany the food.
On Sept. 14th and 15th, Building a Better Boyertown will stage its 11th annual Oktoberfest marking the beginning of its second decade of celebrating Boyertown’s German heritage.
