Oktoberfest is coming to Lexington SC!   Founded in 1735 as "Saxe Gotha", so named for Princess Augusta of the German Duchy of Saxe-Gotha, Lexington was born with German roots. Oktoberfest 2011 will be a celebration of this German heritage.
 
Lexington's Oktoberfest is sure to have something for everyone.  Admission is FREE! Visit the "German Village" from noon to 5pm where you will find arts and craft vendors, free giveaways, and activities for the little ones, like "bouncy castles" , face painting, crafts, balloons and more!  Local businesses will be providing an eclectic mix of activities, giveaways and services for the whole family to enjoy!  At the center of it all will be the "Oompah Tent" with authentic German food, German beer & live German music from noon until 10pm.   See Menu Here.  Food and Beer cost tickets which can be purchased at the event at one of the ticket tents.  Each ticket is $2 and can be purchased in any quantity.

After 5:30pm Oktoberfest is going to be joined by it's good friend Rocktoberfest, brought to you by Main Street Cafe of Lexington!  Live Music will be provided by  Going Commando and Brian Connor and Freinds on an outdoor stage.    Two tickets or $4 will be required for entry.  American beers will be available on the Rocktoberfest side.  Live German music will still be playing and German food and beer will be served in the Oompah tent all the way until 10pm as well!  Don't worry, access to Rocktoberfest will get you a bracelet, so you will be able to freely enter and exit Rocktoberfest in case you have a late night craving for more German food and beer!

Come celebrate with us at this great community event.  We look forward to seeing you there and making Oktoberfest a lasting tradition in Lexington.
