Upcoming Oktoberfest

Here is a local Oktoberfest that escaped my list from earlier in the week. This information comes to us from yesterday's Rensselaer County Advertiser newspaper. I have been to this Oktoberfest in the past and their home-made potato pancakes were awesome!

Oktoberfest Brings Bavaria to Nassau

Nassau's Village Beautification Committee presents a traditional Oktoberfest celebration on Sunday, September 30th, at the Village Commons Park on John Street, just off US Route 20. The event runs from 12 noon until 4 p.m. and features traditional German foods,  beverages, and entertainment.

Inspired by European harvest festivals, the Oktoberfest menu will include a variety of tasty treats including an array of locally-made German sausages, vegan bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, and made to order potato pancakes. All foods are available for take-out.

Musical entertainment will feature Nassau's own Bavarian Barons, a traditional German brass band founded in the village over 50 years ago. With a lively program of polkas, waltzes, and marches, the group has a long history of entertaining the public throughout New York and New England.

Admission is free and will take place under tents rains or shine. Guests may bring their own lawn chairs if they wish. For additional information, go to www.Nassau12123.com or call 518.766.2291.
