Fall is officially here, and that can only mean one thing: Oktoberfest is just around the corner.

Held Friday, Oct. 4, this free celebratory event kicks off the season with food and drinks from local vendors, live music from the polka band, Der Polkatz, and the iconic Palladium as the perfect backdrop.

Grab your traditional Bavarian attire and head to Carmel City Center for a family-friendly night of fun from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Prost, Carmel
