SHAWNEE ON DELAWARE, PA — The area’s first Oktoberfest in July will take place at Shawnee Mountain on July 14 and 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. A celebration of the German culture, Oktoberfest in July will feature authentic German food and beer including Krombacher and Kellerbier. Vendors will serve wursts, strudel, potato pancakes, kiffles and more.

The event will feature three stages of music. The Austrian Boys, a traditional Austrian-German style and Alpine-American rock band, will perform on the main stage both days. G.T.V. Almrausch, a dance group from Philadelphia, will also perform traditional German-style dance under the main festival tent both days. Joe Stanky & the Cadets will perform polka hits inside the Ski Lodge & Biergarten. Local favorite, the Apple Strudel Gang, will perform in the Brauhaus Bar.

In the Bier Stein Olympics, guests will compete in three events: stein hoisting, bier stein relay and the beer-belly contest. There will also be pig and wiener dog races, juggling and magic shows, face painting, craft vendors and more.

The festival will be held rain or shine. Advanced festival admission tickets cost $9 for adults and $7.50 for children ages five to 12; under four are admitted free. For more information, visit www.shawneemt.com.
