Celebrating Oktoberfest in Buffalo has never been so good, ever since the grand ump-pa-pa-party has been hosted at the Central Terminal. I mean honestly, what’s not to love? Giant beer mugs, girls in sexy fraulein outfits, Buff guys in Bavarian vests, communal picnic benches to cozy up to your neighbor and Oktoberfest music… There’s no better place to experience Oktoberfest than the Central Terminal. If you’re ever attended a beer bash at the terminal, then you know ho much fun it can be. Just remember that when someone says that they were pounding beers at a previous Oktoberfest, it might have meant on a picnic table.
It seems like there’s a major celebration just about every weekend during the year. Nobody can attend them all. You must pick and choose according to tastes of course. And what tasted better than a frosty cold beer served up in an oversized mug? Still not sold? Then how ’bout some wienerschnitzel and German folk dancing… with your favorite fraulein? Over 5000 people are expected to be in attendance this year!
