Prost! Oktoberfest Returns to Lake George and Beyond!

Posted: 8/27/2021 - 2-minute Read

We missed Oktoberfest in the WURST way last year, from the big Lake George village brouhaha to the individual Oktoberfest festivals at local breweries.

Now it's time to raise your stein again because Oktoberfests are back in the Adirondacks in 2021! Don't forget to check in on the Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail Digital Passport when you go.

Adirondack Pub & Brewery announced that the annual three-day Columbus Day Weekend Oktoberfest event will be back in Lake George this year. Time to dust off your lederhosen and get ready to have the WURST time this fall!   Enjoy the fall foliage (which is often at peak Columbus Day weekend) at this Bavarian-style street fair on Canada Street in Lake George near Shepard Park. Traditional Oktoberfest fare, tasty beer, and live music are all part of the fun. There is no charge to enter. Food and drink are available for purchase.   Here are the dates & times:

• Friday, October 8 from 5-9 p.m.
• Saturday, October 9 from noon to 10 p.m.
• Sunday, October 10 from noon to 5 p.m

Keeping the Stein Full

Adirondack Pub & Brewery is also bringing back its Oktoberfest Celebration the following Saturday at the Pub.  

This will be their 15th Annual Oktoberfest Celebration on Saturday, October 16, 2021 from 1 to 5 p.m.  

What can you expect? Non-stop polka music of course, so don your dancing shoes with your lederhosen. An awesome beer garden with NYS guest breweries and a tasty menu including Bratwurst, Knackwurst, and Weisswurst plus all the German fixings.   There will also be keg tossing, stein hoisting, a costume contest, cornhole and much more.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Ben Osborn Memorial Fund.  

“We are extremely happy to partner with this amazing local charity. We have worked with them in the past, so we’re excited to be doing so again. Please visit their website at the link above for more about this worthy charity,” Adirondack Pub & Brewery posted on Facebook.  

Local businesses are going above and beyond what is required of them to ensure guests, employees, and the community are kept safe as COVID-19 variants continue to spread.  

“We anticipate another great year of fun while also practicing safe habits. The health and safety of our customers and staff is our top priority at Adirondack Brewery, and we are committed to the safety of everyone for these events, and at our restaurant.   Please be aware, that although there are no current guidelines that will restrict this event; Adirondack Pub & Brewery, and its employees, will adhere to all CDC, NY State, Warren County, DOH, and local Village of Lake George COVID-19 guidelines,” the Pub posted on Facebook.

Northway's New Oktoberfest

The next weekend on Saturday, October 23, 2021, Northway Brewing Co. in Queensbury will host its first Oktoberfest from 3 to 7 p.m. with live music by The North & South Dakotas.
