Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg, Texas
Recently I posted pictures of my 2009 trip to Fredericksburg, Texas. While down there, I stayed in a cabin and saw some beautiful countryside. And while there are some good wineries in the region, I was really going for the beer. As a historically German town, Fredericksburg puts on a pretty good Oktoberfest. I wish I could have gotten more photos of the Oktoberfest celebration itself. However, with the rain coming down at my hands full of beer and brats, I couldn’t devote quite the care I would have liked to. Still, I am impressed with what I got. Maybe one day I’ll go back on a sunny day.
Oktoberfest

The main pavilion at Fredericksburg Oktoberfest, and the reason I drove six hours to see the town. Oktoberfest is the best drinking holiday.

Fredericksburg was settled by German immigrants, and the modern town is quick to capitalize on their Teutonic heritage
Sculpture Garden

A bust of some historic guy. I wish I remembered who it was. He looks like one of my relatives, though.
Cool Architecture

Gillespie County Court House. It seems to be on the cusp between Art Deco and International Style. Though thankfully, it leans more towards Art Deco.
Sorry but doesn’t look very German
