Now that fall is definitely here, it’s time for the 2nd annual North Portland Oktoberfest, held this Saturday, October 22, 2011 at the Historic Kenton Firehouse (8105 N. Brandon) from 3pm to 10pm.
The fest features a German bratwurst, kraut and pretzel dinner – with Widmer Brewing beer! Attendees receive a commemorative glass mug, a sponsor coupon book, and of course a fantastic experience.
Ticket prices start at $15 for the outdoor beer tent, and go up from there depending upon which dinner hour you select. Purchase tickets in advance, or at the door. Proceeds from the fest benefit Ockley Green, the only public arts magnet school in North Portland. A majority of the students come from low-income households, and nearly 80 percent of students qualify for free or reduced price lunches. Thanks to a fiscal sponsorship provided by North Portland Community Works, a 501(c)(3), tickets and donations are tax deductible.
