Description
Oktoberfest in Bluewater Bay is back on Sept. 26-27 at Merchants Walk on John Sims Parkway (Hwy. 20) in front of the Winn-Dixie. It's a Niceville community event where neighbors gather for a great time. There's delicious food, like bratwurst, sauerkraut, hot dogs and hot soft pretzels. Our 30+ vendors include various merchandise and more fun food. We've got the giant bounce house, slide and other inflatables for the kids. Entertainment includes the Edelweiss German band, an accordion player, the Emerald Coast Community Band and solo artists. We've ordered three kinds of beer, or you can choose a glass of wine or soft drinks.
