North Dakota has a rich heritage in German and Germans-from-Russia. Nearly half of the state’s population is of German descent, so it’s no surprise that there are quite a few Oktoberfests being held across the state in the coming weeks. From the beer to the bratwurst and even the wiener dogs, these events are a blast and they only come around once a year. Put on your lederhosen, grab a stein of beer, and head out to these fun festivals:
