Members of the Iowa City community flocked to the Iowa City Downtown District on Saturday to celebrate the 28th annual Northside Oktoberfest. The day began at 11:00 a.m., with events scattered until 6:00 p.m.
The Northside Oktoberfest provided contests, games, and entertainment such as a keg toss, beer slide, and a brat-eating contest. Additionally, the Iowa Children’s Museum provided a kid’s area, allowing kids to partake in their own ‘SodaFest’ by sampling different sodas while having a space to do crafts and play.
With the purchase of a ticket at check-in, over 45 beer and wine vendors provided exclusive access to unlimited samplings until 3:00 p.m. Iowa breweries like Big Grove, Backpocket, and Singlespeed participated alongside out-of-state brews like Phase Three Brewing and Sam Adam’s.
