Beer Radar

Philly Oktoberfest ‘09 is shaping up nicely. I’ll post later about the beer we’ve got lined up, but first the entertainment.

We’ll be hoisting mugs and tapping toes to the sounds of Heimat Klaenge, which translate roughly as “Music from Home.” It’s a six-piece band that you might’ve heard at other Oktoberfest celebrations, including at the sadly departed Ludwig’s Garten.

They’ll be joined by GTV Almrausch Schuhplattler, an outstanding German folk dance group. They’re talented and a lot of dizzy fun.

The festival is Saturday,  Sept. 19th, at the 23rd Street Armory in Center City - all indoors with two sessions. We dropped ticket prices this year and added more port-o-johns. Tickets available here.

So grab your lederhosen and dirndls… it’s time to roll out the barrel!
