Oktoberfest at Harvest Hall

Grapevine's Harvest Hall food hall spills out onto the adjoining Peace Plaza for a one-day Oktoberfest on the last Saturday of September. It runs as a free-to-wander street party rather than a ticketed festival, with beer vendors pouring tastings alongside bratwurst and other German plates. The contest schedule is the draw: wiener dog races, stein-holding and a best-dressed lederhosen-and-dirndl competition.
