Adirondack Brewery Brings Two Different Fall Oktoberfest Experiences to Lake George

Details Announced for Free Family-Friendly Festival; Tickets On Sale for Oktoberfest Charity Block Party

Lake George, NY —  Adirondack Brewery announces the return of two festive Oktoberfest celebrations that will take place this fall as Lake George nears peak foliage. These annual festivals bring thousands of people to Lake George and take place against the backdrop of colorful autumn leaves reflecting on the clear water of Lake George.Building on the success of previous years, the brewery is geared up to deliver a double dose of authentic Bavarian revelry, complete with traditional music, hearty German cuisine, and a vast selection of meticulously crafted brews. Enjoy the tastes, sights and sounds of Oktoberfest in Europe without the hassle of flying! Both Oktoberfests take place rain or shine as there are large tented areas.

A portion of the proceeds benefit a local charity every year. This year the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund is the beneficiary. This non-profit organization aims to support youth with various needs. This fund was created in loving memory of CPL Osborn who was killed in Afghanistan, June 15, 2010, while serving in the United States Army during Operation Enduring Freedom.

“Our Oktoberfest events are inspired by the traditions of Bavaria, but we really like to add a local emphasis to the event. These Oktoberfests benefit a non-profit every year that assists the community,” said brewery owner John Carr.
