What to expect
Main Street Winter Haven’s 19th annual Oktoberfest takes over Central Park with more than 30 German, American and craft beers, bratwurst and other German-style food, wine, live polka and classic music. General admission is free; beer tasting requires a ticket.
You can attend for the food and music without buying a tasting ticket. Beer tasting tickets are sold separately, single beers are available, and organizers ask guests to bring a chair and leave coolers at home.
