Last week, Kim Kardashian was spotted in Germany wearing a traditional dirndl in celebration of Oktoberfest (she tweeted this photo of her costume). As a result, Kim has inspired this post on Fritz & Franz Bierhaus in Coral Gables. Join the festivities starting October 1st through the 10th to honor this 16 year tradition- Oktoberfest! This has become one of Miami's most anticipated festivals and it's known to attract up to 15,000 guests over a two weekend span. Stop by Fritz & Franz to enjoy an exciting line up of performances, traditional Austrian/ Bavarian food, a Jodel Contest and a Bratwurst Eating Contest. Did I mention there will be plenty of beer? Proceeds from Oktoberfest's $5 raffle to win a cruise for two will benefit local charity, CHARLEE Homes for Children. Admission to Oktoberfest is free. Festival hours are from 11 a.m. till midnight on weekdays and to 2 a.m. on weekends. Fritz & Franz Bierhaus is located at 60 Merrick Way in Coral Gables. Art in the Park: Additional Oktoberfest celebrations will be taking place at Art in the Park! On October 1st and 2nd, guests can attend this annual concert series at Ponce Circle in the heart of Coral Gables. Bring your friends and watch live performances with a German Bavarian twist. There will be a Sam Adams beer garden throughout the park, schnitzels, pretzels, musical chairs and prizes for the most original costumes [go for the Kim Kardashian look and you should be fine]. This event is sponsored by the Kiwanis of Little Havana & Music Foundation along with Sam Adams Beer. For more information, visit the Art in the Park website. Remember to drink responsibly and get creative with your outfits!!!
