Das Best Oktoberfest

  

           

We’ve changed some things this year – 
so here’s what you can expect…
All The Show Features Are Under Cover- so Rain or Shine-  you are totally wunderbar! As you enter the show, you’ll receive a souvenir tasting mug and 6 beer tokens. (VIP is unlimited drinks) You can purchase more beer tokens for $1 each! Just drink responsibly.

ALL YOU CARE TO TASTE Over 150 beers, wines and schnapps. All of your favorite craft beers and perfectly paired wines will be served to highlight the great Beer Hall theme.

NEW! SPECIAL FRIDAY NIGHT DAS BOOT OOMPAH PARTY!  We’ve decided that Sundays are better for American football – so we won’t be open on Sunday.  But we will roll out the Bavarian carpet on Friday Night instead for a crazy OOMPAH party under the tents.   Guests will be treated to special Das Boot Glasses and a German sausage platter dinner. Guests will be limited – so if you are looking for a wunderbar VIP experience with less crowds…this is your ticket.

OOMPAH BANDS and LIVE MUSIC ABOUND!  Roll out the barrel! Authentic oompah and polka bands will keep you moving along with great live music from your favorite regional bands. Show us your best Chicken Dance moves.

NEW! NO MORE TOKENS!  All guests can enjoy ALL YOU CARE TO TASTE privileges. Our VIP guests will enjoy two extra hours and other benefits but at least this way – there’ll be no more struggling to find a place for tokens in your Lederhosen! 

GREAT FOOD. There will be several brat concessionaires who will be offering the best sausages and German food in DC!  Enjoy all your favorites!! Food will be purchased ala carte.

CONTESTS ON THE MAIN STAGE. Enjoy great live contests on the main stage and enter yourself for a chance to win cash prizes! The Best Beer Belly Competition, The Miss Oktoberfest Competition, and The Pretzel Necklace Contest presented by Heavy Seas Beer.

 

  

WEAR GERMAN ATTIRE AND YOU'LL GET A FREE BEER LANYARD!!!!
