And then there's the Octoberfest in Wynwood

Grovetoberfest is Saturday, October 17 and the Coconut Grove Seafood is the next day, Sunday, October 18, but if you want to start the October festivities early, you can start on October 1 with the Sam Adams Octoberfest in Wynwood.

With an authentic Bavarian Beer Hall, The Sam Adams Octoberfest is prepared to take over Wynwood for the sixth year. Live bands, entertainment, plenty of beer and great food such as Bratwurst, pretzels and strudels will turn the arts neighborhood into a real German town.

This year, they’ll crown the new Miss Octoberfest, and the popular “Raise the Stein” contest will once again put people’s strength to the test. Meanwhile, the International Polka Band will take center stage, as people enjoy the number one selling Octoberfest beers in the United States. What’s the best part of this four-day folk festival?! It’s absolutely free to get in! Lassen Sie uns Toast auf das!(Let’s Toast to that!)

The Octoberfest is Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, October 4 at 2250 NW 2 Avenue, Miami.

Hours are:
Thursday - 6 pm to midnight
Friday - 6 pm to 2 am
Saturday - 2 pm to 2 am
