MUSIC ... MUSIC ... MUSIC ...

OOMPAH ... POLKA ... CHICKEN DANCE ... FLEDERLING

Music is very important to a great Oktoberfest!

We are proud to import our friends from a fun Party Band, A German-Style DJ and our very own Chico Oompah Band.

Now, let's face it as modern-day Americans, very few of us can spend a whole day frolicking to German Polka Music... Ya ? ,,, YA!

So, our Alpine Meisters Band plays some modernized polka and some absolutely great party music. In combination with Noah from Know Escapes and his solo Oktoberfest medley, our Chico Oompah Band and a DJ to play for us , we have found the right combination of music!
