The Archway has been transformed into a traditional German beer hall.
THURSDAY 10/6 at 6:30pm: enjoy a high energy Oktoberfest performance complete with costumes, tubas, accordions, and more by Melina and the Oompahs. Melina’s musical act is drawn from inspiration from the original Oktoberfest in Munich, where she was previously featured.
FRIDAY 10/7 beginning at 6pm: DJ Holzmeister a.k.a The Kaiser—a DUMBO nightlife luminary and co-founder of nightclub Lunatarium—presents unique Oktoberfest performances on the decks. Originally from Germany, DJ Holzmeister plays a range of festive music for attendees from traditional Bavarian songs to German pop songs from Schlager to Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave).
SATURDAY 10/8. Arts & crafts with Creatively Wild from 3-5pm. Melina and the Oompahs come back for a rollicking Oktoberfest set from 5-7:30pm, and then DJ Holzmeister closes out the night!
