Dorf Kapelle at Essen Haus Oktoberfest.

press release: Essen Haus' annual Oktoberfest celebration takes place from noon-8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. The family-friendly event features a variety of German Oktoberfest biers off the caddy, German food fresh from the grill, live polka music with an outdoor dance floor, games and contests, and a kids' area with activities for all ages.

The Zweifel Brothers will open the event with live polka and oompah music out on the patio from noon-4 p.m., with Dorf Kapelle headlining from 4-8 p.m. The 20+ piece band is making their 7th consecutive appearance at Essen Haus Oktoberfest, performing energetic renditions of German polka classics.

"Oktoberfest is our favorite celebration of the year," owner Bob Worm said. "We believe everyone is a little German at heart, and Oktoberfest really brings that out. People of all backgrounds come out to eat, drink, dance and celebrate with us each year."

Carnival-style games and brat-eating and bier-drinking competitions are among the other activities planned for the celebration. Essen Haus Oktoberfest has free admission and free parking. Learn more at: essen-haus.com/events/oktoberfest.
