About the event
The Reading Liederkranz brings its Oktoberfest celebration back to Pennside for five days of German food, drink, and music. The club has built its reputation in Berks County on sharing German cultural traditions with neighbors and newcomers alike, and Oktoberfest is the centerpiece of that work.
Expect the flavors the club is known for, from appetizers and hearty entrees to desserts, served alongside the sounds of live music on the grounds. The atmosphere is social and familiar, the kind of gathering where longtime members and first-time visitors end up at the same table raising a glass together.
The festival runs Wednesday through Sunday at the clubhouse on Spook Lane in Lower Alsace Township. Whether you come for one evening or make a return trip across the weekend, it is a straightforward chance to experience German festival culture close to home. Prost!
