OktoPRfest returning Sept. 25
All are invited to the Town of Port Royal’s annual OktoPRfest celebration from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25.
Local chefs, restaurants and food trucks will prepare German-inspired dishes such as brats, pretzels and American food favorites which can be washed down with a variety of craft, imported and domestic beers.
Live musical acts include The Rhinelanders who will perform from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Rhinelanders specialize in fun, German-inspired music, beer drinking songs, the Alp horn (Ricola music) and ballroom dance tunes.
Traveling from Nashville to perform from 2:30 to 5 p.m. is the Dark Waters Project. The band plays what they like to call “Darkgrass,” a blend of multiple genres influenced by bluegrass and alternative rock.
