Oktoberfest Tapping of the Keg Bash at Christie's Mill, Port Severn
2024-10-21 13:30 - 15:00 | Christie’s Mill Inn and Spa, 263 Port Severn Rd N, Port Severn, Ontario, L0K1S0, Canada

Join us for an afternoon of fun and frivolity – and Oktoberfest beer and food. You’ll learn about why Oktoberfest is important in Muskoka and some Oktoberfest songs to sing along to on Oktoberfest weekend.
Why Tap the Keg?
According to long-standing tradition, the first beer barrel at the Oktoberfest is always tapped at the Schottenhamel festival tent in Munich. We put our own Muskoka spin on things by moving the Tapping of the Keg ceremony around Muskoka. As we tap (we also come up with our own tapping gear) we yell “O’zapft is!”. And Oktoberfest Muskoka can then get under way. Until then on October 21, no lips are to touch a beer!
