The beer-fueled holiday Oktoberfest is here, and we are here for German food, drinks, rich culture, and ethnic vibes. After all, how often do we see Washington turn into a smaller version of Munich, where the festival began?
Most of the festivities in Washington start in late September and run through early October. Just like every year, local restaurants, breweries, and beer gardens have gotten into the spirit of Oktoberfest with themed menus, Bavarian brunches, amber-hued beer, competitions, and more. Have a look at the best of the places you should not miss out on.
