Oktoberfest

[Vancitygirl]

Does anyone know of any descent Oktoberfest celebrations. Please not the Commodore. I am thinking celebrations with big mugs and lots of sausage (no snide remarks please I know how that sounds!).

Fried Bratwurst, Bierwurst, Bockwurst, Knockwurst......

Some place where lederhosen would be welcome (had I any).

It's been many years since the Fabulous Commodore Ballroom has had any such celebration - but considering the new chef is German, perhaps it's time to reconsider...

In my background I've got it deeply entrenched that Octoberfest includes dancing the waltz and polka's however, I am unsure many even know how to do that anymore. That alone may contribute to the lack of appeal to the oom pah pah bands (by the way, try and find a German/Swiss/Austrian band). The beer on the other hand I'm sure no one minds!

There is usually a rather sad attempt at a fest in the Caulfield Mall in West Vancouver.

I WAS JUST AT OKTOBERFEST in Munich! lol sorry i just had to say it, needless to say i don't remember much, i only made it to 2 beer tents and passed out after a few steins. One of the best experiences ever! The food around was amazing and the beer so unique. The beers at oktoberfest are not made with any preservatives that is why you dont hangovers from the beer there.

Usually hangovers start after you stop being drunk.
