The Fan Park in Edmonton’s Ice District is set to be transformed into a “Bavarian wonderland” later this month, according to OEG Sports and Entertainment. The park will host a large Oktoberfest celebration from September 22 to September 30. Visitors will have the opportunity to sample German cuisine and, of course, beer, in a 22,000-square-foot tent. Tickets for the event are already on sale.
Stuart Ballantyne, the president and COO of Rogers Place and Ice District, expressed excitement about bringing everyone together to celebrate friendship, family, culture, and delicious food and drink in the heart of Edmonton.
Oktoberfest is an event that originated in Munich and attracts millions of visitors annually. Its history dates back to the early 1800s when Andreas Michael Dall’Armi was inspired by a unique royal wedding in Bavaria.
The Edmonton Oktoberfest event will not only offer food and drink but also family-friendly activities, live music, and entertainment, including performances by traditional German bands.
In addition to Oktoberfest, the article also mentions a couple of other trending news stories unrelated to the main topic.
