Celebrate Oktoberfest in the D.C. area with events including community festivals, dachshund races, and brewery parties with beer and polka.
With racing dachshunds, stein-holding contests and crafting activities for kids, Oktoberfest parties around the D.C. area often have a different vibe than you’d find at Munich’s legendary festival. Sure, there’s plenty of amber-colored lager, served in hefty mugs, often to the sound of a traditional German group playing “Ein Prosit.
” But over the next few weekends, there’s truly a taste of Bavaria for everyone. Here are the essential Oktoberfests, from brewery parties to small-town celebrations.The Navy Yard branch of Atlas brings back its popular Oktoberfest party, which includes unlimited pours of its sweet, bready Festbier — or anything else on tap — while the Prost! Polka Partei band performs. Brats and giant pretzels are for sale, as are special liter and half-liter mugs, for $10 and $5, respectively.
