Oktoberfest Chicago

St. Alphonsus Oktoberfest returns for its 25th year, turning the intersection of Lincoln, Southport, and Wellington into a street festival with a Bavarian bent. From Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, expect oompah bands, craft beer from local and international breweries, bratwursts, stein-holding contests, and polka dancing. Sunday brings a dedicated Kinderfest for families. Admission is $10 on Friday and Saturday, with a $5 suggested donation on Sunday.
