Saturday, Sept. 27, is a date to put on your calendar. Why? Well, starting at 5 p.m. on The Town Square and not ending until the sun sets and the moon rises around 9 p.m., there will be everything you’ve ever wanted at a good, old-fashioned party.
Now, usually, this type of celebration is called Oktoberfest, but since it’s the beginning of fall, the party planners installed a new descriptive word into our dictionary – Falltoberfest. Okay, we can go with that, particularly since this year’s celebration promises to be over-the-top.
Here’s what’s planned: the party will kick off with music by The Brussels Sprouts – not what you’re thinking – a German polka band that will get the party underway in high spirits with lots of high kicks, stomping, twirling, and shouting.
If you’re exhausted, just thinking about dancing the polka, you’ll be happy to know that they will be followed by a more traditional, but very entertaining band, called Chasing Amy. (Don’t ask.) They will chase Amy until the beer is exhausted, and the last axe is thrown. Yes, once again, by popular demand, there will be an axe-throwing competition. For beer aficionados, you’ll have a chance to partake in tasting and judging your favorite seasonal craft beer – please, no axe-throwing after that!
Falltoberfest will welcome food trucks, The Town Square kiosk is selling beer, wine, soda, and water, and of course, the always fun, selfie booth. Dancing will be the order of the day, so be sure to bring those dancing shoes. In between sets, you’ll want to check out the cruise-in car show, throw an axe, walk around the pumpkin patch, take a selfie – or just enjoy a snack and a beer.
The Falltoberfest is on The Town Square, on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 5 to 9 p.m. It is free to attend and open to the public.
