It’s October – the season of schnitzel, bratwurst and giant pretzels. And the Oktoberfest event hosted by The American German Club is just the place to get your fill of food and fun. In its 51st year, the annual event in Lake Worth touts two full weekends of activities and entertainment for the whole family, including carnival rides and games, live music and entertainment, and authentic German fare. The musical lineup for the weekend of October 10-12 includes award-winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mollie B. The weekend of October 17-19 will feature Alex Meixner, a leader in the polka music renaissance. Two other groups, The King Guys Band and The Heldensteiner Band, are both scheduled to perform over the course of the two weekends. Make sure to bring your appetite to sample some delicious German specialty offerings. Selections include a schnitzel sandwich, bratwurst, currywurst, goulash, hotdogs and sauerkraut, potato pancakes and pretzels. For those 21 and older, there will be a variety of German beer options to wash it all down. Oktoberfest takes place Friday-Sunday, October 10-12 and 17-19 at The American German Club, 5111 Lantana Rd., Lake Worth Beach.
