Dust off your lederhosen and get ready to put a little oompah in your day. The Ballard Oktoberfest is coming back for its second year!

On Saturday, Sept. 17, four Ballard breweries will bring a little bit of Bavaria to the Ballard corridor with a neighborhood Oktoberfest crawl!

This year, there’s one more brewery in the mix. Lucky Envelope Brewing has jumped on board to co-host with Reuben’s Brews, Stoup Brewing and Populuxe Brewing. Verity Credit Union also returns as the event’s sponsor.

“Verity Credit Union is delighted to once again to sponsor the Second Annual Ballard Oktoberfest celebration,” says Alicia Diefenbach, community relations specialist for Verity Credit Union. “Supporting the Ballard brewing community to serve up an afternoon of delicious brews, good times and oomptastic brass for our neighbors is the exactly the way we want to help the community celebrate this fun, fall tradition.”

The event will kick off in festive fashion with a traveling oompah band. The Oompah Machine will start playing at Reuben’s at 2 p.m. They will then will march revelers to Stoup Brewing at 3 p.m., Lucky Envelope at 4 p.m. and Populuxe at 5 p.m.

Each brewery will have at least one special Oktoberfest brew and a limited-edition 0.5 liter commemorative stein. You can purchase steins for $6 empty or $10 filled.

And because it’s not a party without great food, revelers will have several options to choose from. In addition to free pretzel necklaces provided by Verity Credit Union, each brewery will also have a food truck on site.
