Break out your lederhosen and dirndl skirts because Chattanooga Market’s 16th annual Oktoberfest is this weekend in First Tennessee Pavilion.

The market expands its one-day event into two fun-filled days for this festival of German culture that draws locals as well as regional visitors.

Visitors will find an array of German traditions: brats, a biergarten featuring more than 99 local and seasonal craft brews, polka music from the Wurstbrats and even a chicken dance or two.

The festival includes a crowning of Mr. and Ms. Chattanooga Oktoberfest on Saturday evening. Entrants should report to the market’s Carter Street stage by 6:30 p.m.
