Despite the ongoing construction around the Fremont Bridge, the Fremont Chamber of Commerce's Oktoberfest returns for its ninth year with promises of being bigger and better than ever.
Yearly favorites such as the Brew Ha-Ha walk and run, the music stages, the Friday and Saturday happy hours, the Texas Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving contest and zucchini races make their returns.
New this year are the Brew Ha-Ha street scramble, the Urban Carnival, the Dog Day Afternoon and CityDog Magazine Cover dog modeling contest and the 12-foot-tall, articulated Troll.
All events will take place Friday, Sept. 22, through Sunday, Sept. 24, around the Adobe Plaza and under the Aurora Bridge, at the southeast corner of North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North.
And don't forget, the Fremont Sunday Market will continue to take place, in addition to the numerous craft vendors who will sell their wares during the entire weekend.
