Oktoberfest 2018 is over. And next it’s time to turn to celebrating Deutsches Haus’ 90th anniversary. Here are a few photos from this year’s festival.
The Kinderecke or Children’s Corner had activities and crafts for children.
Some great photos of the first 2 weekends from our local media photographers –

First Kegs Tapped at the Deutsches Haus
Ian McNulty at the New Orleans Advocate has written an article that is a little bit about Oktoberfest and a lot about the transition to the new Haus:
The scale of Oktoberfest at Deutsches Haus is measured over three weekends in beer kegs by the hundreds, sausage and schnitzel by the thousands, and German potato salad by the ton.
This year, however, the German cultural group behind Oktoberfest is on the cusp of something even bigger, and it goes beyond the party about to unfold on its grounds.
