7th Anniversary Salt-Glazed Steins
Check out Waldmann’s 7th Anniversary Oktoberfest steins handmade by Schilz in Westerwald Germany, family owned since 1661! This year’s design, created by friend and neighbor Rob Olson, honors both Waldmann’s 7th anniversary as well as our W7th neighborhood where Anton Waldmann first opened our saloon in 1857. Available with or without pewter lids, and only at our Oktoberfest.
German Dance, Story-telling and Puppet Show at Waldmann’s Oktoberfest
You don’t need to renew your passport to see world-class German folk-dance: we’re honored once again to have S.G. Edelweiss perform again this year at Waldmann’s 7th Anniversary Oktoberfest. This group recently won 1st Place in North America (Gauverband Nordamerika), and 2nd Place in the world at the prestigious Steinebach am Wörthersee competition near Munich. Come cheer them on as they share their talents both Sundays September 22nd and 29th from 12:30-3pm. Sundays are also Family Days, featuring Zpuppets’ hilarious performance “A la Carte” and free admission for kids under 5!
Special Festival Beers at Waldmann’s Oktoberfest
Waldmann’s 7th Anniversary Oktoberfest again features Munich’s most storied festival beers: the traditional Märzen-style Oktoberfest and the supremely quaffable Festbier, proclaimed Munich’s official Oktoberfest beer. Maturing in our tanks for months (like all good lagers should!) and brewed with the finest all-German malts and noble hops, Oktoberfest beers don’t get any better than this.

… And Yodel Like No One’s Watching
Yodeling wasn’t invented by Julie Andrews–it goes back centuries among the mountain herders of southern Bavaria and Switzerland. But no matter, you can yodel your heart out at Waldmann’s 7th Anniversary Oktoberfest!
