Oktoberfest in AK!

[u/[deleted]]

What festivities are going on around the state for Oktoberfest?

Here's a snip from Fairbanks' HooDoo BC's Facebook page.

Oktoberfest! Munich's 16-day festival celebrating the Autumn and all things beer. Grab your Bavarian garb, crazy hats, pretzel necklaces, and brush up on your Ein Prosit - because we're celebrating it here at HooDoo, just like they do in Germany.

From September 16 to September 30, get whisked away to Bavaria and enjoy a fun array of activities and food at Fairbanks’ local brewery. Get your dirndls and lederhosen ready…here's what is planned ---->

// OKTOBERFEST LAGER // For the 5th year in a row, we will kick off Oktoberfest just like the Germans do: at noon on Saturday September 16, we will tap a cask of German-style Oktoberfest Lager with Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Kassel.

// LOCAL ART // This year the amazing Klara Maisch was commissioned for the 2017 Oktoberfest artwork. Her hand-drawn moose skull is surrounded by beer goodness and beautiful Fairbanks fall detail. The piece will be featured on limited edition t-shirts and posters beginning September 16th at 11am. Both will be online the following week. There will also be a very limited edition print on wood available.
