This fall, Placerville will be the place to be for anyone who might enjoy a California twist on a traditional, German, Oktoberfest experience.
The planners have crafted an agenda full of activities for all ages. It will run throughout the afternoon and into the evening and is being hosted by the Placerville Downtown Association.
Plans include demonstrations of Bavarian dance and music, and there will be a special family area where younger guests can play games and have fun. Guests can cheer on their favorite in the wiener dog races, and there will also be German food on offer.
While the occasion will have a Bavarian theme, the wines featured will be produced in El Dorado County. Offerings from area craft breweries will be on tap, and attendees can relax in the wine garden while they enjoy their drink. An assortment of vendors will also be on hand for the crowd browse through, and anybody interested in being a part of the fun will not need to register ahead of time to come to the event.
This will be the eighth year that the celebration has been held in Placerville. A local printer can be called upon to provide out of the box thinking when it comes to designing promotional products for this type of function.
Oktoberfest has been planned for September 22nd. More details can be found on its online listing.
