The event, though, is held in September rather than October. In its fifth year, the festival celebrates everything Bavarian, and returns to the Beamish & Crawford brewery site on South Main Street on September 11-20.

Festivities will swing into action between 4pm and 10.30pm daily and will include table service by frauleins who will serve a selection of traditional Bavarian dishes and refreshments. There will be entertainment throughout the festival with performances by the Edelweiss Oompah Brass Band each evening.
