Toronto Oktoberfest 2018: The Best Beer Celebration Outside Munich, So Don't Miss Out

The Toronto Oktoberfest celebration is the closest you're going to get to Germany, without actually hopping on a plane to Germany.

Join thousands of Torontonians (and other visitors who come to the city just for this) dressed in lederhosen and dirndls, under a massive Bavarian-style Festhalle Tent to celebrate German culture. (And beer.)

There will be food, beer, music, beer, a fun fair modelled after the original Munich event, and beer.
