Get your fill of Oktoberfest brews from local craft, as well as imported German beers served in a signature Capital Ale House stein.     Live, high energy polka music will be performed by Johnny Koenig and Fritz Polka Band, with entertainment from The Hirschjäger Dancers!    “This year we researched and found the best Polka performances and are looking forward to them setting the tone as we kick off and celebrate our largest annual event, Oktoberfest!” –Matt Simmons, President of Capital Ale House     Our event is family friendly, and we encourage you to bring the kids! We will have a large Kinderplatz area for the children located at the Fredericksburg Area Museum, with balloon animals, inflatable bounce houses, face painting and more!    Celebrate Oktoberfest right with delicious German cuisine including giant Bavarian pretzels, bratwurst, knackwurst, currywurst, sauerbraten and Jaegerschnitzel.  Traditional sides of German potato salad, red cabbage, spätzle and sauerkraut paired with the largest selection of Virginia craft and import German style beers. Every Capital Ale House location will be serving these dinner specials in the weeks prior to the festivities as well!     The festival is $3 at the gate, benefiting the Fredericksburg Main Street Initiative.
