Our Nana Giles was somewhat prickly, but a few frothy beers and she'd be pulling polka moves with her little dog Liebchen over her head. That's the power of Oktoberfest: big steins, bigger bratwurst, and the biggest lederhosen. Mein Gott! On Friday, October 5, you and your Kuschelbär can test your fake Bavarian accent and get lost in the celebrated Sea of Accordions at Way Out West Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake, 80 West Rio Salado Parkway. Get a little German in you.
Fri., Oct. 5, 5 p.m.-midnight; Sat., Oct. 6, 10-midnight; Sun., Oct. 7, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., 2007
