1. Although it’s hard to tell, Fremont Oktoberfest benefits the Fremont Chamber of Commerce. From the Fremont Oktoberfest website:

“Each ticket purchased proceeds go directly to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, an organization that works diligently to create and maintain the wacky and iconic Fremont neighborhood.”

Isn’t that neat!

2. Fremont Oktoberfest has been hailed (yes, HAILED!) as one of the Top Ten Oktoberfests in the World. Not surprised, it is the Center of the Universe after all. However, the accolade likely came in 2008 on this Orbitz blog. Meh, we’ll take it.

3. According to the Washington Beer Blog, Fremont Oktoberfest is “Seattle’s largest and oldest Oktoberfest celebration and has been part of autumn in Seattle for 20 years.” 

4. Fremont Oktoberfest, like the Fremont Fair, is produced by Bold Hat Productions, located right about Free Range Bicycles in the heart of Fremont at Phinney Ave N and N 35th St. It’s a really smart event planner who plans the event in their own back yard. 

5. The people watching is incredible. Whether attending the festival or meandering through the rest of Fremont you will see ridiculous things go down.
