Oktoberfest comes to Croydon

Live polka and stein hoisting
Polkadelphia will perform live music from 2 to 6 p.m., with a stein-hoisting competition at 3 p.m. The traditional German drinking competition tests who can hoist a full stein the longest.
The wiener toss competition
At 4 p.m., attendees can compete in a wiener toss, a less traditional but playful addition to the Oktoberfest festivities. It's one of several quirky activities alongside the classic German celebrations.
Creekfestbier and local brews

Food, vendors, and activities
Food trucks will serve eats alongside soft pretzels, while local vendors include hot sauce makers, Northeast Fudge Bar, and balloon animal artists. There's something for all ages.
Free admission, all ages welcome
