Occidental Brewing in N. Portland's St. Johns neighborhood is expanding their 2019 Oktoberfest celebration to two days this year - Friday, September 20th 3-9pm and Saturday, the 21st noon-9pm. As usual this is a family friendly event with music, beer and bratwurst.

Admission to Occidental's Oktoberfest is free, but you will need a stein for beer which can be purchased for $10 at the gate or you can use past years steins if you have one.

Occidental will have a new Festbier on tap for the party as well as all of their traditional favorites. Urban German Grill will be providing delicious German fare to soak up your beverages.

There will be live music both days, with The Oregon Trailers headlining Saturday evening. Occidental promises more announcements for music as the event draws closer but promises that you can look forward to some new additions to the fest including a stein holding competition, corn hole, and of course an outside beer garden. More info TBA.

Lederhosen are not required but always encouraged.
