The fall festival season is in full swing, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. If you're looking for some authentic German fun, head over to Pack Square Park for Asheville Oktoberfest presented by the Downtown Association. This free event runs all day starting at 1 PM and features over 20 Western North Carolina breweries with more than 60 different beverages to sample. You can upgrade to a Prost Pass for a commemorative tasting cup and 20 brewery tastes. The Hillclimbers will be performing alongside classic oompah music from Lagerhosen, and there will be traditional Oktoberfest games sponsored by Aloft and Moxy Hotels. Food trucks will be serving up German-inspired fare to complete the experience. For those wanting to get funky, Oskar Blues is hosting FUNKtOBerfest featuring Asheville's own instrumental powerhouse Toubab Krewe along with local favorites High Flying Criminals. This free event celebrates their annual Fest Bier release with several Oktoberfest favorites on tap. It's a unique twist on traditional Oktoberfest celebrations that only Oskar Blues could pull off. Tonight brings some diverse entertainment options. VOWL BAR is transforming into Seaside Heights for their first ever Fresh to Death Jersey Shore Dance Party starting at 9 PM.

For a more intimate evening, Fitz and the Wolfe is presenting The Cuban Cowboy Orlando Mendez from 7 to 11 PM. The Haunted Farm has returned for its 2025 season after Hurricane Helene destroyed their woods and cancelled shows last year. They're back bigger, better, and scarier than ever, proving that no storm can stop their scares. Looking ahead to tomorrow, we'll see partly cloudy skies with a high of 75 degrees and a low of 60. Coming up this week, Ben Folds will be performing with the Asheville Symphony at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium on Thursday, October 10th, and Grammy winner Joss Stone will also be in town that same evening.
