Pet Rock will take the stage afterwards and perform from 8-11 PM. Pet Rock offers a series of songs that are Soft Rock based for all 70’s music fans.
 
Attendees will be able to experience Oktoberfest's newest hangout spots, “The Backyard” and our “Oktoberfest Sports Bar.” The Backyard will feature a fun hangout spot that will have your favorite backyard games and will have the feel of being outside. Our Oktoberfest Sports Bar will have a bar like atmosphere with the luxury of having TVs so you won’t miss any college football games happening. These two hangout spots will help add to the fun along with our fan favorite competitions: Stein Hoisting Competitions, Hammer Striking Competition, and the Brat Eating Competition.
