Bethany Village Oktoberfest

Bethany Village, a shopping center in the Bethany area of Washington County northwest of Portland, hosts a free four-hour Oktoberfest on a Saturday afternoon. Z Musikmakers supply German-inspired music, local craft beer and German food are served, and the Portland Dance Center performs. Steinholding competitions run with a kids category alongside the adult one, and a marketplace of local vendors fills out the site; attendees are encouraged to come in lederhosen and dirndls.
