Third Annual Triangle Oktoberfest - Sept 23-24

The Third Annual Triangle Oktoberfest will be held at Cary’s Booth Amphitheatre September 23-24 and will celebrate community and cultural diversity. Tickets for this family-friendly event are on sale and can be purchased through the Booth Amphitheatre Box Office, www.triangleoktoberfest.org/tickets, boothamphitheatre.com or by calling 1-800-514-3849. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, noon-6 p.m.
 
Triangle Oktoberfest is co-hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Apex Sunrise and Cary MacGregor, and the Town of Cary. Previous events have attracted thousands of participants, and this year’s event is expected to surpass previous attendance records.
 
The event will start Friday, Sept. 23 at 6:45 p.m. with the traditional Bürgermeister tapping of the first keg, called “O’Zapst is,” which is also what the crowd yells out. The organizers are sparing little expense to make the entire experience as authentically Bavarian as possible.

“The whole idea behind our Oktoberfest is to share ‘Gemütlichkeit,’ or warmth, friendliness and good cheer,” said Triangle Oktoberfest Bürgermeister Randy Bossé. “Our region is rich in German culture as well as home to over 75 German-based companies. Great effort has been made to create an authentic Bavarian experience.”
