In September, Krush Brau Park will celebrate its Oktoberfest at its location in Kissimmee. Experience authentic German food, entertainment, dancing, and the ceremonial tapping of a wooden keg by a traditionally inspired bürgermeister (town master) [1].
What to Expect
From September 19 to November 1, Krush Brau Park’s expansive outdoor beer garden across over 10 acres is the place to be if you love beer, bratwurst, watching soccer, and all things German [2][3]. The celebration spans seven weekends with oompah bands, keg tappings, liter steins, schnitzel and bratwurst [3]. Hours are Friday 4–10 p.m., Saturday noon–10 p.m., and Sunday noon–8 p.m. [3].
Have some daytime fun with giant outdoor lawn games the whole family can enjoy. Or be there after 5 p.m. for a rousing good time with shots of Goldschläger or Jägermeister [1]. The Krush Brau Park operations team says this year’s Oktoberfest will include alphorn blowing, stein holding, cowbell ringing, and yodeling competitions, just to name a few [1]. There will also be live music, and it won’t just be German oompah music—there will be pop, country, Latin and other musical genres to enjoy [1].
History of the Park
According to Director of Krush Brau Park Gabriel Greenberg, the park began as the dream of Army veteran Waylon Krush. While stationed in Bad Aibling, Germany, Krush fell in love with Germany’s food and traditions [1]. Once back home in America he longed to share the celebration of Oktoberfest with others. Now, his dream is coming true, and he hopes to expand on that dream [1].
“The aim is for Krush Brau Park to be a world event center where people can come to learn a little bit about several different countries, including its traditions, food, culture, and people,” Greenberg says [1].
