Pull on your Dirndls and your Lederhosen and polka on down to Oktoberfest Chicago, Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 25, in and around St. Alphonsus church in West Lakeview. One of Chicago’s most popular celebrations of fall and all things Bavarian, Oktoberfest Chicago returns for its 20th year of seasonal revelry. In addition to the outdoor festival featuring authentic Bavarian cuisine and live entertainment, this year marks the return of Craft Beer Tasting nights held on September 23 & 24 inside the church. At the corner of Wellington, Lincoln, and Southport Avenues, St. Alphonsus church has been the center of Chicago’s vibrant German community for 140 years since its founding in 1882. Live music at two stages features a combination of Chicago’s best festival bands alongside lively polka music from bands like The Bratwurst Brothers, Sgt. Sauerkraut’s Polka Band, and the Polkaholics. On Sunday, festgoers will gather to watch the big game on a giant screen in the church parking lot. See below for a full entertainment schedule. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased at givesignup.org/TicketEvent/OktoberfestChicago. For more information visit https://www.stalphonsuschicago.org/.
