A three-day lakefront Oktoberfest at Duluth's Bayfront Festival Park, anchored by a very large bier tent that serves as the main hall for German beer, food and music. Alongside the hall the grounds hold an arts and crafts market, contests, helicopter rides and a dachshund derby. Sunday is run as a family day with a petting zoo, inflatables and barrel rolling for kids, and it closes in the late afternoon.
