Atlanta’s Der Biergarten Prepares for a Festive Oktoberfest Season
ATLANTA – If you’ve ever wished for a taste of Germany without leaving Atlanta, there’s no better place to experience it than Der Biergarten. And there’s no better time than Oktoberfest.
Starting this Saturday, Der Biergarten, nestled in Downtown Atlanta, will launch its much-anticipated annual Oktoberfest celebration. This family-friendly event runs on Saturdays from September 21 through October 26. That means you have multiple weekends to don your lederhosen or dirndl and join in on the fun.
What to Expect?
Der Biergarten has outdone itself with a lineup of activities that promise something for everyone. For those with a competitive streak, engage in the stein-holding contest or dive into the bratwurst-eating competition. Do you enjoy a more relaxed pace? Stick around for the ceremonial keg tapping and the delicious spectacle of whole pigs roasting on the patio.
A Peek Into Der Biergarten’s History
Owned by Legacy Ventures, Der Biergarten opened its doors just in time for Oktoberfest in 2010. Since then, it has drawn locals and tourists alike with its authentic German cuisine and vibrant, festive atmosphere. Plus, its prime location, just steps away from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, makes it a hotspot for sports fans, packed with big screens for all your viewing needs.
