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 9 to 11, across from Soulard Market. Unless otherwise noted, all photos by Theo Welling.
