Organizers say the two days of activities will be "sprinkled with samples of traditional Oktoberfest elements."
Beer Selections:
The Downtown Parktoberfest will feature the Big Bier Garden Tent, supported by Atwater Brewery and Great Lakes Beverage, offering craft and Oktoberfest beer lovers more than 25 impressive selections, including the popular Blocktoberfest from Atwater Brewery in Detroit, and Hofbrau and Spaten from Munich.
Family Fun:
This includes live entertainment by Immigrant Sons, Corktown Popes and the Polish Muslims, a Kidz Zone with the favorite Faygo root beer garden and interactive activities and pumpkin carving demonstrations. There will also be a photo booth, a zucchini 500 race for the kids, and an array of specialty foods.
