NORTHWOOD — The Worth County Fairgrounds will host Northwood’s sixth annual TUNE Oktoberfest on Sept. 26. The focus is on food, fun, brews and music in a family-friendly, traditional-fair atmosphere authentic to the actual German Oktoberfest in Munich, accoring to a press release.

Big Ben and the Brian’s Concertina Band returns for a sixth year. Always a crowd pleaser, the band has the stage from 3 to 7 p.m. At 7 p.m., John Carden will take the stage with his genre-spanning, original songwriting style.

Authentic German food includes mouth-watering barbeque — pork loin, brats, hot dogs and red cabbage served all day. The food sales will help fund TUNE’s efforts to improve the community.

According to a press release, a limited amount of Worth Brewing Company Oktoberfest beer will be available. Consumers can expect a malt-centered, smooth flavor, with a slight spicy kick. In addition to the fest beer, authentic Ayinger Fest beer imported from Bavaria will be available as well as 1919 root beer on tap. Participants can enjoy them all in the commemorative half-liter mug.

Entrance to the festival is free to everyone from the main south and west gates. Anyone wishing to purchase beer must show ID at the ticket booth and receive a wristband.

The bands will perform on the chamber’s show stage.
