Food: Sactoberfest will offer a great selection of German foods available for purchase from great local restaurants like Ten 22, Broderick Roadhouse, Frickle Brothers (who had much-buzzed about fried pickles at Outside Lands) and The German Deli. At an event held for bloggers last week, they let us sample some of the dishes they planned on offering. Among the winners were the Jagerschnitzel (fried pork cutlet with mushroom cream sauce), cabbage rolls (just trust me on this one) and Beer Braised Thursinger (handmade sausage by Morant, a local sausage company).

Music: The Chico Bavarian Band, The Internationals and other musical acts. It'll add a great atmosphere to the party atmosphere.

Fun: Just like the Munich Oktoberfest, there will be a Sportsplatz, featuring carnival rides, corn hole, and other games. I'm not sure I'll want to ride a carnival ride after a couple beers, but if you have kids, it'll be a great place to hang out with your kids while enjoying a beer.

If you went last year, there was a beer tasting component of this event. They won't be doing that again, making it more a more authentic Oktoberfest experience.

Finally, before this post, I went and read Yelp reviews from last year's event. Honestly, the feedback was pretty negative, with issues with having enough beer and food. I asked the organizers about this, and he acknowledged that last year was a learning experience for them. Because they had never done it before in Sacramento, they had no idea what the demand would be. In addition, they sold the vast majority of their tickets in the days leading up to the event, and there wasn't enough time to ramp up the food and drink. But he said he's learned and ready to go.

Sactoberfest runs Friday 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday 1 to 10 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tickets start at $30 per day, which pays for admission and your first 16 oz beer. They have premium tickets starting at $45 per day, which includes a Sactoberfest Stein and your first 32 oz beer. VIP tickets start at $95, and include access to the only bar with hard alcohol at the venue. Parking is available for a separate fee from Raley Field. But honestly, you should be taking Uber.
