Prost! 🥨🍻
Pint of beer at Beau's Oktoberfest. Right: Drinking a beer on a brewery patio near Ottawa.
Grab your lederhosen, Oktoberfest season is approaching and you can party like you're in Germany.
It was announced that the Beau's Oktoberfest in Vankleek Hill has been cancelled for another season but you don't need to wait until next year to enjoy live music, giant pretzels and steins of beer in the Ottawa region.
A bunch of local watering holes, mainly craft breweries, are hosting Oktoberfest events so here are seven places around Ottawa that you can celebrate. (Keep your eyes on other breweries in the area because some plan on hosting events but do not yet have details confirmed, including Tuque de Broue Brewery and Overflow Brewing Company.)
