Oktoberfest started in 1810 as a weeklong wedding celebration in Munich and spread to a worldwide annual event. Nowadays, most Oktoberfest events are actually held in September because the days are longer and the weather is better! With many of its residents descended from German immigrants, Pennsylvania is well known for its Oktoberfest celebrations. If you’re looking to celebrate Bavarian culture in Bucks County, here are some of our favorite places to grab a beer and a brat.
