Wellington’s Marchtoberfest Rocked

On March 6th and 7th, local families enjoyed jousting, jesters, and Party Polka at Wellington’s weekend “Marchtoberfest” event, a traditional German Pop-Up Biergarten featuring Hofbräu Bier. Located in Wellington’s Town Center, the free 2-day event featured a Ceremonial Keg Tapping with Village Council, a lounge area of authentic Biergarten tables and benches, German dancers, food, music, vendors, and a kids’ activity zone. Special entertainment included stein hoisting contests, jousting exhibitions, and performances by Grammy-nominated accordionist Alex Meixner, with The Alex Meixner Band.
