Most activities are free, but some require a registration fee.
Summertoberfest also hosts a Massgrugstemmen at 6 p.m. every Saturday, aka a bier stein holding contest, where participants hold a liter of beer with their arm stretched out and parallel to the floor. The overall winner will be taken to New York to participate in the Hofbrau Masskrugstemmen National Finals in September.
The festival will also feature live music, several food options and of course, lots of beer.
