Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake is Gonna Rock

by Rail Life on September 28, 2009

It probably isn’t a big shock to hear that I am pretty pumped that the Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake is coming up! With the weather looking good and the huge list of fun things being offered, who could say no?

Tempe Oktoberfest is going to be held Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 4th at Tempe Town Lake. Of course, the easiest way to get to all of the cool events at Town Lake ( in our opinion) is for you to take the light rail to 3rd Street and Mill. The FREE light rail park and ride lots make the trip very convenient.

This year’s event looks to have something for everyone. There will be a ton of kid-friendly activities with Kinderfest at Oktoberfest* along  with non-stop music and entertainment for all of us. In fact, this year’s music lineup is being billed as their “best ever” with “20 bands on 4 stages.”

Other features and “Fest Facts” for the Oktoberfest include:

Six Beer Gardens

Splash Park/Rock Wall

Bungee Jump

Six Beer Gardens

Bavarian Bakery

Carnival Rides

Six Beer Gardens

Two Wine Gardens

Non-Stop Polka (whatever that means)

Six Beer Gardens

FREE admission is always good, too.

The Tempe Oktoberfest will be held:

Friday 10/2/09 from 5pm – midnight

Saturday 10/3/09 from 10am – midnight

Sunday 10/4/09 from 10am – 6pm

If you want to save a few bucks, “special family pricing allows for the purchase of 25 food / activity tickets for just $20.00 during the following hours: Friday: 5:00 pm –  7:00 pm  Saturday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Sunday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.” ( normally, tickets are $1.00 each )

this has nothing to do with oktoberfest but I didnt really know where to write it, basically I saw a wierd creature in the water yesterday and it really freaked me out. It was late at night and I was running, hardly anyone else was around as soon as I saw it I jumped and ran away from the water. It was dark in color and all I saw was a long neck and head. It moved it's head a little so I know I wasn't imagining things…if anyone else spots something please say so!
