As Oktoberfest season approaches, this blog will start to highlight some Oktoberfest festivals happening outside of Germany.  If you live in or near the Upper Midwest, check out http://www.oktoberfestusa.com to find information about the LaCrosse Oktoberfest.  The festival runs from September 24 – October 2, and this year marks the 50th Anniversary of the festival!  To commemorate the occasion, Bret Michaels has agreed to play a concert on September 28.  If you plan on heading to LaCrosse, you better make sure to go in style.  Lederhosen and dirndls are a must, and this Plush Oktoberfest Chicken Hat will surely make you stand out.  For a large selection of Oktoberfest costumes, party hats, and more, check out OktoberfestHaus.com today!
