Oktoberfest at the New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium will host family-friendly Oktoberfest celebrations at its Dockside Beer Garden, in collaboration with the Aquarium’s hospitality partner, <a href="https://www.sodexolive.us/">Sodexo Live!</a>, and Sam Adams. Entry is free with food and beverage items available for purchase. Oktoberfest celebrations will take place the first three weekends of October (10/2-10/4, 10/9-10/12, and 10/16-10/18) from 12-7 p.m., weather permitting. On Saturday, October 10 from 2-5 p.m., Sam Adams will be onsite with fall beer samples, giveaways, and a Raise the Stein competition to see who can hold a full beer stein the longest. The beer garden will also be running a promotion the first three weekends of October for two Sam Adams beers and one pretzel served with Sam Adams beer cheese for $24.  Other food for purchase in the beer garden includes special menu items such as bratwurst bites, a fall apple salad, fall chicken sandwich, mini potato pancakes, a Sam Adams burger, and apple cider donuts served with hazelnut Nutella sauce and powdered sugar.
