More Oktoberfest in the NW and Beyond!
26-Sep-2005
While I was looking for a link for Harvard Square for my Tea post, I noticed they will be hosting an Oktoberfest celebration this coming weekend. I thought I’d mention it as I was planning to tell you that Leavenworth, the Bavarian style town east of the Cascades, will be hosting two weekends of Oktoberfest; September 30 & October 1; and October 7 & 8.
Many think this town is just a little too cheesy, but I’ve always enjoyed going over and spending some time strolling through the planned town, especially at this time of year. I’ve never been to Oktoberfest but used to attend their Autumn Leaf Festival, held in September, which has some Oktoberfest elements (like the Duck Polka, after a couple of beers…). At that time of year you can see salmon heading back up the Wenatchee River to their spawning grounds – truly amazing to see the numbers of fish in that river. This time of year the leaves should be turning and the color should be gorgeous going over the pass.
And, I happened to stumble across a site that lists Oktoberfests all over North America, so if you are looking for one in your area – check it out!
