Over 10 of The Wharf’s restaurants including Kith/Kin, MI VIDA, and Praline Bakery will be offering German-inspired specials sitewide from their outdoor tents and dining halls throughout the day. Event-goers are encouraged to make reservations at restaurants with an Oktoberfest menu by visiting each restaurant’s individual website.

In the spirit of Oktoberfest’s annual Wiener 500 race, dachshunds (costumes encouraged!) are welcome at Camp Wharf at the Firepit for a special doggy treat from 2:00-5:00 PM. Event-goers can also enter a virtual costume contest by posting photos of your German attire to Instagram using #wharfdc for the chance to win a beautifully crafted Sam Adams Festival Stein.
