BRING ON THE BRATS

Oktoberfest | Berlin, Maryland | Oct. 17

Prost! Downtown Berlin goes Bavarian for the day with brats, knockwurst, soft pretzels, German chocolate cake and plenty to wash it all down. The Edelweiss Band brings traditional Oktoberfest sounds, while two stages keep the music going throughout the afternoon. Bonus: Berlin’s fall sidewalk sale happens the same day. Eat your way down Main Street, then shop your way back.

>>Go: 11 a.m.–4 p.m., downtown Berlin. Free admission and shuttle from Berlin Intermediate School. berlinmainstreet.com
