    Got out for a much needed family outing, wife, daughter and myself. Decent food and some good music and great beer and drinks. Will be back but try some different eats.

    Wünderbar! The best Oktoberfest around is at the Cuyahoga County (Berea) Fairgrounds every Labor Day weekend! This was only my second year attending, and it's awesome sauce! Plenty of cold bier and tasty food! Tickets are available at the entrance or you can buy them cheaper online at ClevelandOktoberfest.com. They offer a bunch of different ticket packages - single day, two day, 4 day, VIP, etc. You have to buy tickets for beer when you get there. It's 6 tickets for a small beer and tickets are $1. Along with the 4 or 5 German bier offerings available throughout the venue, you'll find a lot of local breweries with stands set up in the gazebo. In addition to the usual fair food, Oktoberfest brings a bunch of food stands set up by local German/Eastern European restaurants like Der Braumeister, Das Schnitzel Haus, Seven Roses, Sterle's, and the like. You'll find schnitzel, chicken paprikash, pierogies, potato pancakes, cabbage rolls, a vast array of sausages, strudel, and the list goes on. I did notice a few barbecue stands this year, including Cleveland's famous Hot Sauce Williams. Some places are cash only, so do keep that in mind. There's also pretzel girls and dudes in lederhosen selling shots roaming about, so keep your eyes peeled. The live music is awesome! The German bands are always great crowd pleasers. Love me some Chicken Dance! Also, this year they had a Journey cover band that really had the crowd going! They did a great job! Check out my video. My favorite part of Oktoberfest is the glockenspiel, which is a little show that goes on every hour by the clock tower. The people go nuts for it! So much fun! You definitely have to check that out. If you haven't been to Cleveland Oktoberfest, be sure to stop by next Labor Day weekend! Prost!

    So much fun! Coming from a German heritage, I try to hit up these fests frequently. Last Friday, we hit up the Cleveland Oktoberfest at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea. We got there in the middle of the first day, and man, was it packed! You get tickets for beer. You have the option of several different beers and sizes. The workers are great. The entertainment seems to be happening everywhere, not just at one stage or area. I go for the food and dancing. While there we got a pretzel with beer cheese and of course, sausage and kraut. Food and beer can really stack up in spending if you don't watch it. It's hard because you just want everything from everywhere. The tickets were only $9 if you bought them ahead of time online. Of course we took that up, getting a $3 discount on both tickets. Great fun for a weekend night. Great for families and people who want to just get beer drunk and eat a bunch of sausage, pretzels and pierogies.

    Spent Labor Day here. Plenty of music, beer and wieners to enjoy and watch. Wiener Dog races are a must see. Get your strudel early before the line is long and flavors limited. Next time I'm going to check on the policy to bring water- a must between beers. Otherwise it's $2 and up a bottle. Buy your entry tickets online to save money.

New generations turn backs on the traditions that defined this city. No official recognition or PR efforts have been directed toward the Eastern European immigrant soul of Cleveland. But that soul survives. It is the churches and ethnic organizations that pass on the traditions of the muscle that created the wealth of art, industry, sports, parks and identity called Cleveland. For one day every year the Scouts recreate a neighborhood where Hungarian is spoken, bands play folk music and rhapsodies, and dancers entertain. Hungarian cuisine differentiates itself from all others in that much of it is prepared outside over open fires. After all goulash was beef cooked by cowboys in lard flavored by chilies. In Texas the same is called chili. On the grounds of the German Central Park volunteers prepare chimney cake, pork steak sandwiches, grilled kolbasz, palacsinta and the fried bread called langos. Most likely the beer garden is overflowing when the Irish or Germans hold their events but Hungary is a coffee society so the cafe is favored for pastry with strong coffee. In the restaurant the home cooked paprikas, stuffed cabbage, and sausage is endlessly served. A mass is held as well as a Protestant service. The parking lot is filled to the overflow lot across the street as Hungarians and guests come from all over the region. Like all Eastern Europeans, Hungarians are self sufficient, proud and loyal. We like life as Hungarian Americans living in the Great Lakes. Our culture endures thanks to organizations such as the Hungarian Scouts. Our influence remains whether at a stall in the West Side Market, a small restaurant in Avon, St. Emeric's defying the bishop, or the haunting music of Cleveland's Harmonia band. We are still around.
