2016 = More Beer, More Brats, and More Bands!
Continuing the Chicago tradition, St. Alphonsus is bringing back another year of Oktoberfest. This is the annual, upbeat festival for fans of bratwursts, beer, German music, and autumn traditions. Friday and Saturday, you can experience craft beer tasting in the parish’s German Beer Hall, and Kinderfest which will feature games and activities for children and families at the festival on Saturday and Sunday. St. Alphonsus is also adding a new ‘Brat Trot 5K’ to kick off the festival so you can get some exercise on Thursday before gaining pounds from the amazing food and beer that you’ll consume.

Oktoberfest has been held at St. Alphonsus for over 15 years and it was recently nominated as one of the top 10 best Oktoberfests in the country, according to USA Today. Celebrate your German heritage and don’t miss out on one of the greatest Oktoberfests in the US.
