Where Can We Go for Oktoberfest in Tampa Bay, Florida?

Oktoberfest, ah, the fun, the feast, the BEER!!  If you can;t manage to make it to Germany this year for a proper celebration, why not try Oktoberfest at Tampa Bay Downs?  Beginning Friday, October 26, all weekend long, through Sunday the 28th - Friday 5pm to 11pm / Saturday 11am to 11pm / Sunday 12pm to 7 pm.

Oldsmar's version is the longest-running in West Central Florida, for 167 years!

For a list of other places to visit with celebrations this month, visit: Octoberfest 2007

My favorite spot has always been right here in Tampa Bay, of course--don't forget the Festhaus at Busch Gardens, Tampa - although it's not exclusively a "festhaus" anymore, you could celebrate by joining the Brewmaster's Club.

And of course, our own Dunedin Brewery has a whole calendar of events.

Just found another--Loverboy will be appearing at St. Pete's Oktoberfest celebration at the Vinoy on the 27th.  Albertson's has discount tickets available if you buy certain items.

So, get out and see what's happening in Tampa Bay for Oktoberfest this year!  I'll see you there...

Do they do Oktoberfest in Arizona?  Or is it strictly Cinco de Mayo and such out there;-)?

I attended my first Oktoberfest last weekend in Dunedin.  It was fun!  I don't drink beer but had fun sampling all the German food.

Loretta, It sounds like so much fun, I don't even know if we have one in New York.  If you go, have a drink for me!

Sounds like a plan!!! Last night I took my daughter (it was her birthday) to HOPS on US19N for dinner - they are also celebrating Oktoberfest and have their own brew (personally, I prefer the Hammerhead Red)-

So now you have another spot to celebrate this fest! They also offer Schnitzel and Bratwurst on the menu right now!!!!

I really shouldn't admit this, being of German blood and all, but I really prefer wine...but a nice, microbrewery Amber once in a while isn't bad!  Happy birthday to your daughter, Barb!

Carole, I cannot believe New York City wouldn't have something for Oktoberfest!  That just doesn't seem possible...ok, maybe not on Long Island...

It appears I'm behind in my festive reminders, Judy!  I thought Dunedin had something, but couldn't find anything when I looked--guess I was a little late.
