If you missed BrewFest, tonight you’ll have a second chance to enjoy frosty beverages at the Central Terminal, at Picnic on the Plaza IV: Oktoberfest, from 6pm-12am. Celebrate the first day of Autumn in traditional Munich style! Enjoy an evening of music in the concourse “beer garden” with Western New York’s most in-demand German band, the Frankfurters! Choices of beer, food, soft drinks and merchandise will be available. Guests in costume get in for free! Yeah, I thought it was weird having Oktoberfest in September, too, until I checked out this entry in Wikipedia, which informed me of the following:
On account of the duration of the festival and the nice weather, the Oktoberfest has begun in September since 1872. It always opens on a Saturday and its duration varies depending on the days of the week each year (Approximately 16 days). The festival has traditionally ended on the first Sunday of October, but if this day is the 1st or 2nd day of October, the festival will go on until the October 3rd (German Unity Day).
All proceeds going towards the continued preservation and restoration of the Central Terminal.
