Bust Out The Lederhosen for Oktoberfest!
September 20, 2018 | What To Do
More than 200 years ago, Oktoberfest began as a wedding celebration that was honored with days of drinking, feasting and horse racing in Munich, Germany. It then turned into an annual event that has become an international phenomenon.
While the main event may be on the other side of the world, there are plenty of places throughout Long Island to celebrate.
Hotel Indigo East End - Riverhead
Inside the hotel, the restaurant and bar is hosting a celebratory bash on September 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. The afternoon will feature Smitty's Polka Band, traditional German food, beer, a keg tapping ceremony and a mug-holding contest. Get your tickets in advance for $15 or pay $20 at the door. Each guest will receive a souvenir stein filled with Warsteiner suds. Prost!
