Every September, millions of tourists flock to Munich for Oktoberfest. However, the true centre of German beer culture lies three hours north in the medieval town of Bamberg.

Oktoberfest draws more than 6 million people each year, many of them tourists. Of course, New Jersey has its own and with the competition here they're all worth a trip. The first one on our list happens this weekend in Medford. It goes on Friday 9/20 5-9 p.m. and Saturday 9/21 1-9 p.m. Freedom Park in Medford.

Celebrate the rich German culture in the QCA and enjoy a day of music, food, games and beer. German American Heritage Center Executive Director Brian Allen spoke with Our Quad Cities News about Oktoberfest.
