Held in the Festhalle at the Washington State Fair Event Center in Puyallup, Oktoberfest Northwest calls itself Washington's largest Munich-style celebration. The three-day event pairs German food and imported beer served in traditional steins with oompah bands by day and Pacific Northwest party bands after dark. Signature moments include the ceremonial keg tapping, wiener dog races, the Stein Dash 5K and late-night singalongs. It is all ages until 6 pm, when Friday and Saturday shift to 21-and-over.
