Bavaria Coming to Cady’s Alley

Octoberfest is coming to Cady’s Alley! The weekend of September 27-28, the alley will be transformed into a bavarian fall fest, with a two story beer hall, polka music and pretzels. (GM’s genuinely curious to know what space this two story beer hall is, and why we can’t just have that all the time?)

The heart of the party will be Leopold’s, which is technically Austrian (as is the alley’s visionary, Anthony Lanier), but why quibble when there’s marzan to be drunken?

Here’s the press release:

Washington, DC – Prost! Following a tradition that started in the early 1880s in Munich, Germany, Georgetown proprietors EastBanc, Inc and Jamestown are embracing back-to-school fall festivities by spearheading a weekend-long Oktoberfest celebration in Cady’s Alley. On Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28 from 12:00 noon – 5:00 p.m., the Cady’s Alley corridor will transform itself into a bona fide German Oktoberfest funfair with Bavarian food provided by Kafe Leopold, a soft pretzel cart, a two-story Central Beer Hall featuring authentic seasonal German brews, Alpine music and a Fun Zone filled with games and attractions. Retailers throughout Cady’s Alley and Georgetown will provide associated fall and back-to-school promotions including Steven Alan, Rag & Bone, Bonobos and Calypso St. Barth. Admission is free. Register at the main hall in Cady’s Alley for all advertised promotions.
