More on Narberth Oktoberfest


From organizer Ed Ridgway:

This year we are offering a free souvenir beer mug to all advance ticket holders.  The mug seems to be a hit, as we’ve already sold almost three times as many advance tickets as we did last year.  It probably helps that the weather is going to be perfect for an outdoor party.

This year features The Tonebenders, with Narberth’s own Dan Gold, of Danny’s Guitars on bass, and the accordion player will roam during set breaks.  Roast pork from the Italian market, roast turkey, bratwurst, knockwurst, vegetarian options, pretzels, and much more.  Much of the food and beer is donated by local Narberth Business Association members and other local businesses.

The event runs from 5-9 p.m. Saturday. Find more information at the NBA website.
