WHERE FUN MEETS GEMÜTLICHKEIT
The German American Society of Pinellas County is well known for being a friendly and family-oriented place on any Saturday night – and during special events. The annual Oktoberfest is no different.
Our guests are encouraged to participate in all kinds of fun activities, including learning German dances. For our youngsters, there’s always a Kiddie Corner with things to keep the children busy for a while.
Most foods are prepared on-site from scratch. The ‘Schnitzel’ is one of our staples and is appreciated by regular and first-time visitors alike.
Despite all the traditional German foods, it would not be Oktoberfest without the imported Bavarian beers we’ll have in stock. You'll be able to enjoy a rotating selection of Bavarian Oktoberfest-style beers.
You can enjoy all of this outside under the big tent, or indoors in our Main Hall.
