Did you miss the Albany Oktoberfest on the Empire State Plaza yesterday? Have no fear, we have two big nights of Oktoberfest waiting for you today and Saturday in downtown Albany!

McGeary’s Oktoberfest starts tonight right after work with FridayFest! Tomorrow is the full fledged Oktoberfest party! This is a second reminder for you to join us to help support a good cause while partying the night away! All proceeds from McGeary’s Oktoberfest will be donated to the Albany Police and Fire Foundation!

Tonight, opening act Jeff Strange returns to McGeary’s to set the tone for Oktoberfest, followed by local favorite the Audiostars, who are sure to light up the McGeary’s party tent!

Tomorrow Oktoberfest continues with more fun and live music. The Heaters will be playing your favorite rock n’ roll and dance music all night long!

AlbanyAlive.com will be at Oktoberfest both tonight and tomorrow taking pictures! No need to weigh yourself down with a camera, just find a photographer for a FREE photo at the event!
