Nothing shouts “Alaska Grown!” more than this Bavarian feast surrounded by Alaska’s natural beauty. With locally grown potatoes in the potato salad, giant Palmer cabbage in the sauerkraut, Alaskan bratwurst, hand-crafted soft pretzels, and locally brewed beers, ales, and hard ciders, we bask in the support and creativity of our local businesses. Another MUST for a proper Oxtoberfest is the music!

The house band is Alaska Blaskapelle, the finest Oompah band outside of Munich. This 12-piece lederhosen-clad brass band keeps the waltzes and polkas flowing and rest assured, you ill be showing off your very best chicken dance at least one. They also make sure to keep the mood festive with multiple rounds of Ein Prosit, the official toasting song of Oxtoberfest. This lively ensemble always provides an immersive oxtoberfest experience, sure to get your blood pumping and your hands clapping.
