Panama City Beach, FL -
'Das Party.' Sour Kraut, Weiner schnitzel, lederhosen, and, of course, a polka version of Margaritaville. Oh yeah, and a lot of beer?it could only be one thing -Oktoberfest here at the beach.
The Annual Oktoberfest transforms our small, quaint downtown area, into a hustling, bustling, German village. From accordions to carnival rides, to sausage eating contests, you've got to be a part of this one of a kind event.
Downtown businesses take the streets for an old-fashioned Stassenfest along Grace Avenue in the heart of Panama City, and just a few short blocks from the City Marina. The large food tents are concentrated near the bandstand, so while eating you can serenaded by local musicians of a variety of styles - including polka!
