Fall has officially arrived, ushering in cold weather, shorter nights and… Oktoberfest! Most people don’t have the luxury of traveling to Munich to celebrate Oktoberfest in true form, but luckily there are mini Oktoberfests held in just about every major U.S. city. If you think Oktoberfest is all about beer and busty bar maids, think again; these festivals offer a fun escape into another country as you’re surrounded by everything good that is German: bratwursts, sauerkraut, lederhosen, and (who could live without?) polka. A German-themed date night is the perfect way to welcome fall.
