Town of Vienna Oktoberfest
Vienna, Va
Saturday, October 6, 2018
10:00am to 3:00pm
We are all set with the Town of Vienna [Virginia] to bring our old Porsche Buggies to the Vienna Oktoberfest. Members of the Vienna Town Council have said that they are very much looking forward to having us join their festivities again this year. But this won’t be a judged sort of affair - just super relaxed. We can all get together, enjoy some good food and drink, swap some lies and let other folks enjoy our old cars.
Here is a link to the Vienna Octoberfest: https://www.viennaoktoberfest.org/
The next link is to Google maps that shows where we will be parking during the event. This is great news as this parking lot has some built in barriers that will help to keep folks from just wandering through our set up. There is a a low-rise office building on one side (with tuck under parking), and the W&OD trail on the other (with a fence). Cars can enter and exit out of the back of the parking lot across the Vienna Inn parking lot onto Maple Ave. and thus not have to worry about driving through the Oktoberfest revelers on Church St.
There is actually some covered parking under the building. We’ve told the Vienna folks that we would start showing up around 10:00am and that probably we would start leaving around 3:00pm. The Town is encouraging us to stay until the event ends at 7:00. But we replied that most car owners would leave between 2:00 and 3:00, unless, of course, the beer, food and bands are really good!
Please note that many of the nice restaurants in Vienna participate in this event, so this won’t be the regular carnival food. Also Vienna has several local breweries as well, so the beer should be a step above your normal swill.
Important Note: It would be extremely helpful if you would please RSVP to Dave Miller to let him know if you plan to join in the fun. Call Dave on his cell: 703-371-0425.
