Oktoberfest at the Great American Beer Hall

Medford's cavernous beer hall runs Oktoberfest across two Saturdays, with a main stage, mezzanine levels and a large outdoor beer garden all pressed into service. Seasonal lagers come in steins, and the kitchen turns out German-inspired plates. The second weekend is built around an oompah set in the early afternoon followed by acoustic and full-band music into the night. Costumes are encouraged.
