๐บ๐ฅจ PROST! Our 6th Annual Ciderhaus Oktoberfest is coming! ๐ฅจ๐บ๐
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 27th and come celebrate with us at Bushel & Barrel Ciderhouse for one of our favorite traditions of the year โ our 6th Annual Ciderhaus Oktoberfest! ๐ฉ๐ช๐ป
Oktoberfest has its roots in Bavaria, Germany, beginning in Munich more than 200 years ago as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. The celebration was such a hit that it became an annual tradition filled with food, music, drinks, games, and community gathering.
And while it may be called Oktoberfest, the celebration traditionally begins in September! Over the years, the festivities were moved earlier to take advantage of the longer days and warmer September weather โ and we are more than happy to carry on that tradition right here in Poulsbo.
Here at Bushel & Barrel, we put our own ciderhouse-and-farm spin on Oktoberfest with a full day of music, games, ridiculous competitions, great drinks, and lots of community fun.
๐บ THE HOMETOWN BAND โ 2 PM to 5 PM
Get ready for a BIG OOMPAH-STYLE BRASS BAND EXPERIENCE with The Hometown Band! Big horns, festive energy, and the kind of music that makes it almost impossible not to clap along, dance, and raise a stein. ๐บ๐ถ
And yes โ WE WANT TO SEE THOSE LEDERHOSEN AND DIRNDLS! ๐ฉ๐ช
Dress up, get festive, and come ready to celebrate. Traditional attire is definitely encouraged, but not required.
Throughout the day, weโll also have plenty of Oktoberfest-style fun, including:
๐บ Stein Holding
๐จ Hammer-Schlagen
๐ถ Yodeling
๐ญ Wiener Carving
๐ Games, contests, prizes, and more!
We also plan to showcase a wide variety of special Oktoberfest-inspired brews and concoctions from local breweries, alongside our own ciderhouse favorites. Expect plenty of fun seasonal pours and festive flavors to help us properly toast the occasion. ๐ป๐
And one of the best parts?
๐๏ธ FREE TO ATTEND
๐ง KID FRIENDLY
๐ถ PET FRIENDLY
Bring the whole crew, grab your folding chairs, find a spot on the farm, and make a day of it with us.
Oktoberfest has always been about more than whatโs in your glass. Itโs about gathering together, sharing food, music, laughter, and celebrating the people around you โ and that community spirit is exactly what we love most at Bushel & Barrel.
So...
๐ Grab your friends.
๐บ Dust off the stein.
๐ฅจ Find the lederhosen and dirndls.
