Description

Celebrate pretzels, sausage, and of course beer! We are dusting off our Drindls and Lederhosen for a 4-hour Oktoberfest party! That's right, things will be a little different this year. LIVE MUSIC from Chicago's own Polkaholics, with Milwaukee's Mike Schneider Band kicking things off.THE BEVERAGES our seasonal favorites The Great Pumpkin cider and Foikenstein Fest Märzen beer will return, and we'll also have warm cider on hand. THE FOOD This party is more of a festival format, not a sit-down meal like last year. Don't get us wrong, Chef Bryant is still planning to dazzle us with Bavarian food offerings (see below for a sneak peek), but you'll choose what to eat, when to eat it, and there will also be food trucks on site with warm pretzels and some fun desserts.SPECIAL SWAG in addition to the festival mug that all attendees will receive, we've also commissioned (4) custom, fancy German glass-and-pewter steins that will be awarded — (1) each — as follows: a random drawing that all ticket holders are automatically entered in, Best Costume Winner: Dirndl, Best Costume Winner: Lederhosen, and no Oktoberfest party would be complete without a stein holding contest. FUN & GAMES go ahead and bring the kids for crafts, and silly games of (debatable) skill! Tickets are for adults 21+. Entry to the event includes: beverage tickets for (2) festival drinks, a souvenir mug, entry into the fancy stein drawing, 3 hours of music, and ticket holders can also choose to participate in contests such as Best Dirndl, Best Lederhosen, and Stein Holding Contest (first 10 comers only). Children and other guests who are not yet 21 will be admitted without charge, but of course no alcohol for them. Food and any beverages beyond the first two festival drinks to be purchased a la carte. To keep things lively and moving there's no fixed seating, unless you choose to purchase a private booth. This event is RAIN OR SHINE. NOTE: As new public health guidelines emerge, know that ERIS shall observe whatever social distancing, occupancy limitations, and mask requirements may be applicable per state and municipal mandates. We will send additional communication as needed, and guests will be expected to abide by house rules.
