It’s time to prost. 🍻

The inagural Piertoberfest is this Saturday, Oct. 1.. Get that lederhosen pressed + wear some good walking clogs, the festivities last from 12-8 p.m.

Bring friends or fam to sample + toast 9 different brews including Hefe-Weizen (wheat beer), Munchner Lager (one of the most popular Munich lagers), Oktoberfest Marzen (the quintessental amber beer). Soak up that heavy beer with traditional German beer garden fare — currywurst, sauerkraut balls, scnitzel, German potato salad, and more.

Once you’re done feasting — or need a break — partake in the Bavarian games like stein hoisting or keg tossing or the costume competition.

General admission tickets are $20, and VIP tickets are $90 for access + a shaded seating area, collectible 1L beer stein, private restrooms, snacks, and drink tickets.

Someone launches from a platform at a Red Bull Flugtag event. Their blue craft is tilting toward the water from a height, with a team behind them who seemingly just pushed them off the ledge. A crowd watches along the waterfront as the sun shines down.
