Beer steins and pretzels
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.
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.
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.
Good Day Atlanta recently paid a visit to Der Biergarten for a sneak peek of this year’s festivities. The crew left with full bellies and high spirits, ready for the official kick-off. They couldn’t stop exclaiming, “Prost!”
Beyond its Oktoberfest celebrations, Atlanta is buzzing with other exciting events this weekend:
The Home Depot Backyard is hosting its special Yard Fest, celebrating Atlanta’s rich HBCU culture. This weekend, the second free movie on the lawn experience will feature a showing of “Stomp The Yard,” filmed at the Atlanta University Center. Look forward to a special fireside chat with producer and HBCU alum Will Packer.
Are you looking to contribute to a great cause while getting some exercise? Participate in the American Heart Association’s Atlanta Heart Walk this Saturday at 8 a.m. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in metro Atlanta, and this event offers a means to support survivors and improve community health.
If music is more your speed, there are a couple of spectacular events to look out for:
Last but not least, get ready to tune into a new unscripted series, Celebrations with Lacey Chabert, where the actress and philanthropist surprises community members who are making positive impacts with incredible celebrations planned by top-notch party planners.
In other news, Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody Monday night in Manhattan. The specifics of the indictment still unfold, keeping the entertainment world on edge about what’s next for the mogul.
That’s your roundup of this week’s most exciting events and updates. Whether you’re toasting at Der Biergarten or walking for a cause, there’s plenty to keep you busy in Atlanta!
