There's a difference between seeing stuff at Soulard Oktoberfest -- steins, dirndls, lederhosen -- and actually experiencing Oktoberfest. If you brave the crowds and fully embrace the gemütlichkeit, there are a bunch of things that, inevitably, will happen there. Here are 15 of them. Don't say we didn't warn you! Soulard Oktoberfest takes place October 12 to 13, across from Soulard Market. Unless otherwise noted, all photos by Theo Welling.
