It was held indoors at the Frederick Fairgrounds due to the rain. Entrance fee to the festival was $10 per adult, $5 for children, and free for 2 year olds and below. Parking was free, but you could make a donation to youth groups manning the parking lots. Poor kids! They were working outside when it was cold and raining. The place was packed despite of the weather.
The vendors only accept credit cards or wooden tokens.
The mister had a premium beer in a souvenir stein ($21), and a Wiener Schnitzel with mushroom gravy ($5). I had a salted pretzel ($3) and a bottle of water ($1).
The Wiener Schitzel tasted good, in my opinion. I wish they also sold German pastries, and sweets.
After we finished eating, we moved to a different building with big screen TVs, and where there was a band playing. It seemed like there were more yuppies in the second building. The first building felt like it was more for families with children.
Beer refills was $8.
I had no regrets buying this easy-to-pull short waterproof Bogs boots at the thrift store last year. :)
I loved the Secondhand Ramblers. They sang familiar songs. There were times that the crowd sang with them too.
I didn't know what this guy in plaid shirt on top of the table was saying, but all I knew was that the Security guards came right after I took this photo.
We left the festival a little over 7 p.m., and capped the night off at Viet Gourmet along Rosemont Avenue for Pho, spring rolls and calamari!
We are all first timers no more at the Frederick Oktoberfest. The boy told us before we left that there'll be drunk people in the evening at the festival, and he was right.

Thought it was just gonna be all drinking. I will go for the food since I don't drink. Great place to see people, lots of them!
The Viet Gourmet sums it all up. There's octoberfest here in the Philippines too but they only offer San miguel's beers, wish that i can taste all those beers there!
Sounds like fun and the food looks great. Love your bog boots x
ang saya! hindi ako familiar sa mga beers eh, pero parang nakakatakot inumin yung mga dark colored na beers, parang ang lakas ng tama hehehe
Looks like a fun place with good food. Cute bog boots.
beer, food, and good company! Nice!
Well I don't drink beer. It's for common people. Only red wine from Chianti touches my lips. hahahaha! Just kidding. Those shoes are really cool. Can't wait for the winter fairs here in Italy. There will be stalls and kiosks that sell products from northern Europe- from beers, to sausages, and warmed sweet wines, and the best of all, handsome German guys. hehehehe!
