Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is a historic folk festival celebrated for 16-18 days in Bavaria, Germany and imitated throughout the world.  Oktoberfest began in 1810 as a celebration of the marriage between Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.  Today, it's a festival to celebrate the food, music and traditions of the Bavarian people while enjoying time with friends and family.  

 

At Rilke Schule, we partner with West Berlin Restaurant to bring authentic food and beverages to the Rilke family and community.  We typically offer multiple two-hour sessions over a weekend where individuals can purchase tickets to enjoy authentic German food, beverages and music in a family-friendly atmosphere.  This year's event will look a bit different.  Oktoberfest sales this year will be online only with all orders being “to-go” in a drive thru format at West Berlin.   

 

The event will have 8 different sessions or ‘windows’ when you can pick up your orders.  Each session is 30 minutes long and takes place between 11 AM to 6 PM.  This means you can have your schnitzel for lunch, dinner or BOTH!  Additionally, RSV is happy to announce that a limited quantity of Rilke Schule cloth masks, in both adult and kid sizes, will be available to add to your Oktoberfest purchase.  Stay safe in style while representing your Rilke Panther Pride!
