Bratwurst, schnitzel, bierocks. There will be plenty of these authentic German foods in the 11th annual Oktoberfest this Saturday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the parking lot of St. John’s Catholic Church, 1234 Vermont St.
“It’s a celebration of German food and beer,” says Jane Liebert, director of development at St. John’s Catholic Church. “At least 20,000 people visited the festival last year.”
You may wonder how fun a festival would be without beer. Fortunately, the Oktoberfest provides various domestic and German beers. Live polka music and dancing will raise your spirits, too. The festival will have several interesting activities including a traditional German sing-along with chairman of KU’s German Department, Bill Keel. Admission is free.
