Raise a stein to Oktoberfest

The German American Social Club is always the place to be for Oktoberfest and 2024 is no different. They're hosting Oktoberfest Miami over two full weekends in October. Pick either Friday through Sunday, be it Oct. 11-13 or Oct. 18-20 and listen to traditional German music from two live bands, bring the kids to jump in bounce houses and watch a local magician do his tricks and dine on bratwurst and pretzels and raise a stein of authentic German beer.
