REVOLUTION TAKING THEIR OKTOBERFEST TO THE STREET
August 17, 2017 — CHICAGO, IL - Chicago’s Revolution Brewing is moving its annual Oktoberfest celebration to a street festival format this year outside its original brewpub. Revolution Oktoberfest will take place September 29th-30th in Logan Square on Milwaukee Ave. between California and Fullerton. Festival hours will be Friday 5–10pm and Saturday Noon-10pm.
“In our sixth year hosting Revolution Oktoberfest we are bringing the party into the street with a great band lineup,” says Revolution’s Chairman of the Party, Josh Deth. Revolution’s Oktoberfest-style lager is made with 100% German malts and hops and is the best selling Oktoberfest in Chicago. In addition to Revolution’s locally-brewed beers and food, other local businesses featured at the event include Chicago Distilling Company, Dönerman, and The Radler. DJ sets and after-parties are also in the works at other neighborhood bars along the Milwaukee Ave. corridor.
As part of the street fest format, music will play a larger role at Revolution Oktoberfest with a strong lineup including headliners Real Estate and Jeff Rosenstock as well as White Lung, (Sandy) Alex G., and Chicago’s own Meat Wave. A suggested $5 donation at the entrance will benefit the neighborhood school programs of Friends of Goethe School.
