The ceremonial first pour of beer officially opens Oktoberfest. The Black Forest beer is poured by beermeisters and served to patrons at tables set throughout the hall, converted to resemble a traditional German beer hall. In addition to the special tap beer being served for this occasion, the Center’s full bar will also be open. Heritage Hall will open its doors at 5:30 p.m.
The Franco Center will serve a buffet-style Bavarian dinner starting with an appetizer of red cabbage seasoned with hardwood smoked bacon and served with bratwurst on sweet and sour sauce. Following the appetizer, Bavarian-style leeks with potatoes and pork stew in red wine with carrots and onion will be served. The meal is finished with a black forest cake.
Before, during, and after the meal, all are welcome to dance to the lively tunes of the Downeast German Band. DJ Marcel Gagne and Peter Carrier will step up the frivolity of the evening with their music and humor.
This is a 21+ event, and tickets are $25 per person in advance. Tickets can be purchased via the Box Office Phone Line (207.689.2000), online at francocenter.org, or in person at the Franco Center Box Office, now open 12pm-4pm Monday through Friday.
