So ein Pech!

No Octoberfest this year. Oktoberfest would have been from September 19 to October 4.

So...we make our own!

Here are the three ingredients to make yourself a fun (and safe) Oktoberfest right at home:

Schlager. Essen. Dekorationen.

Schlager Music. Food. Decorations.

1. Schlager!

Schlager is its own genre of music. It's a mix of traditional tunes and pop music and it's really distinct. A lot of Schlager TV shows in Germany show people sitting around tables, bobbing their heads and smiling while a singer steps between the tables, lip-syncing to a song. Yep, Milli Vanilli style.

You can stream Schlagerparadies.de for free right here.

Musik - fertig!

2. Essen!

Let the German Food come to you!

Order a German Food Box and it will be delivered right to your door. Each German Food Box includes 6-8 authentic German products in every box. They're all German products straight from Deutschland.

All of the products vary each month, so it's a new box each month. There are traditional German recipes and you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time. Try it for a month or keep it up for an entire year.

You can even gift a subscription!

Be sure to scroll down on their site to see if the Oktoberfest coupon info pops up. ;-)

3. Dekorationen

What's a party without decorations? Many websites in the US now offer Oktoberfest decorations and you can probably find something to use again at a future party. There are even downloads for party decorations, bunting and photobooth signs. 

Ihnen wünsche ich ein schönes, frohes und gesundes Oktoberfest!
