HAUSF3ST: 3rd Annual Oktoberfest Celebration

O’Zapft is! Vector HAUSF3ST returns for its third annual celebration on Saturday, September 24!

We’re once again kicking off the fall season by throwing on our best German-inspired flair and hoisting a stein with our neighbors for our annual Oktoberfest house party taking place on Saturday, September 24 from 11am to 10pm. There will be friends, family, live music, brews, food, and weenie dogs a-plenty, plus the return of our collectible stein - DAS MUG! As always, Oktoberfest attire is encouraged for those looking to put in the extra effort. And the best part? NO TICKET IS NEEDED!

Lineup includes:
Small Business Artisan Market in the back parking lot - 11am-5pm
Shop these awesome local shops:

German-style brews on tap, and the return of Das Mug!
Enjoy a taste of the Deutschland with our seasonal favorites, including crowd-favorite Vektorbräu German-style Märzen and the bold Black Phillip doppelbock, plus the debut of a couple new releases that will have you yodeling with excitement. Get your first pour in Das Mug (our limited 0.5L glass stein of frothy goodness) for just $20 and keep the stein, then refills are just $5 throughout the day. (Supplies limited - only 150 mugs available, so get here early!)

Bites and Brats!
We’ll be offering a limited menu of our stone deck, sourdough pizzas during the party, or enjoy the classic bratwurst on a bun, served with our house beer mustard and sauerkraut. Wunderbar!

Live Music in the Biergarten!
The Oom-pah Daddies perform their style of party polka and Balkan rock from noon-3pm

Desabelle rocks the house with their signature bluesy rock and folk sounds from 4pm-7pm.

Games and Feats of Strength!
Stein Hoisting Contest - Arm straight out, elbow locked, don’t spill a drip. See if you can last the longest! There will be both a men’s and women’s division, with only 12 spots for each contest. Sign up starts at 11am, and the contests will begin around 1pm. We’ll also have corn hole and Tower Ball on site for your enjoyment.

Weenie Dogs!
We will once again feature our annual Weenie Parade starting around 3:00pm. Any attendees that own a dachshund are welcome to feature their pups in the parade too! And of course there’s a prize for best-dressed pup.

Party ends at 10pm

**HOUSEKEEPING NOTES**
As in years past, we’re spreading out the party to be primarily outdoors, and are investing in extra seating options outside under our shaded beer tent. Beer stations will be located out back as well.

The Children’s Half Pint play area will be closed for the day to make room for our entertainment. Children are welcome to attend, but please keep an eye on them. The Kiddie Curfew will be in effect starting at 8pm. Leashed pups are also welcome outside (no dogs inside as per city health code.)

We will not be offering our normal takeout for the day. We thank you for your understanding.

Parking in the Lakeridge shopping center will be limited, so we highly suggest a ride share such as Uber or Lyft, or parking in the neighborhood and walking a bit. Needless to say, please be courteous to our neighbors and respect our ‘hood.

Prost!
