Is there a “main hub” for the festival?
Where should we go?
Where is it all happening?
Questions:
There is no main hub for Locktoberfest! This festival takes place all over town, so think of it like a “crawl”. Some businesses will have food, some will have drink specials, some will have music & contests! The best way to experience Locktoberfest is to hop around and see what different stops have on offer!
