“Bring a picnic blanket to claim a spot on the lawn near the kids zone.”
Triangle Oktoberfest at Koka Booth Amphiteatre is a large-scale, authentic German heritage festival held in Cary. The event brings traditional Bavarian culture to the Triangle with live music, classic food vendors, and interactive games. What to Know: Admission is free, though you will want budget for food and drink purchases. The venue offers plenty of paved parking, but it can fill up quickly, so arriving close to the noon start time is your best bet. Strollers are welcome on the grassy lawn, and there is plenty of space for kids to move around. This is an easy weekend pick because it combines a lively festival atmosphere with a spacious, fenced-in venue where children can safely burn off energy.
