Oktoberfest 2013 Preview: Beer Garden Music and the Children's Stage

Oktoberfest is this Saturday, Oct. 5 along historic Church Street in Vienna.

Most people associate Oktoberfest in Vienna, Germany and everywhere else with beer.

While that’s a key element, there are a lot of other things at Vienna Oktoberfest 2013. There’s wine, food, activities for children, vendors and music. 

Throughout this week on Vienna Patch, we’ll be previewing all of it—we’re starting with the music in the Beer Garden and Children’s Stage entertainment. Here's the schedule and links to more information about the acts:
