Oktoberfest is held annually in Munich, Germany to celebrate Bavarian culture with a 16-day folk festival (running from late September to early October). Sure, a date night abroad would be awesome, but you can easily enjoy German-inspired brews at one of the many Oktoberfest events in Orlando.
And thankfully these events in Orlando span from late September all the way to the end of October. Prost!

We tried a sampler of the Oktoberfest food offerings. The Chicken with Potato Pancakes and the sausages surpassed our expectations. The German Chocolate Cupcake is an absolute must! We did receive a complimentary beer stein as part of our media visit and we love the design. The Wheel at ICON Park etched into it is a special Orlando memento.
