Get ready to don your lederhosen or dirndl and join in the festivities at ROCtoberfest, a Bavarian-themed bash coming to the ROC, located at 3700 Monterey Drive, on Saturday, September 21 from 5 to 9 p.m. Set under the shelter of the ROC, revelers can expect an evening filled with the lively sounds of live music promising a blend of rock and polka to suit a variety of tastes.

According to the event announcement, attendees will not be short on choices for refreshments and entertainment, with an array of food trucks setting up shop and a selection of beverages, beer and games, and challenges designed for all ages to partake in. Plus, there are prizes to be won for those who excel or, perhaps, have lady luck on their side.

The on-site festivities come with a modest entry fee of $5 per person at the gate, and children aged 5 and under can join in the fun free of charge. For those looking to sip their beverages in style, event drinkware is available for purchase at $10 each. It's a small price to pay for an evening that offers a slice of Bavarian culture, right in Minnesota.

ROCtoberfest is shaping up to be an event that promises to deliver good cheer, cultural flair, and an opportunity to make memories with friends and family alike. Those planning to attend might want to show up early – the experience, the music, the games, they all beckon with the promise of good times. Don’t forget to bring your festive spirit, and maybe a pretzel or two wouldn't hurt either.
