Fall means it’s time for Rocktoberfest! No matter where Oktoberfest is celebrated, there are common ingredients: lively music, mouthwatering food, and big, big pints of beer. Paragon Festivals with the Sarasota Downtown Merchants Association and their special guest the Humane Society of Sarasota County are bringing an authentic Oktoberfest experience coupled with fantastic live musical performances (=Rocktoberest!) to Sarasota on October 15-17, 2021. You will be able to stuff yourself with smoked sausages, roasted meats, sauerkraut, cabbage, and pretzels while enjoying authentic German music and dancers and live music performances in rock, soul, big band, R&B and more!

Join us for the premiere of the Sarasota Rocktoberfest in beautiful JD Hamel Park in downtown Sarasota at Gulfstream and Main Street. Hours are Friday 4pm-10pm, Saturday 11am-10pm and Sunday 11am-6pm and admission is free. Musical performers in the 2019 Oktoberfest event were: Triggerfish (pop, rock, country), Kettle of Fish (rock, blues, funk, Ari & The Alibis (funk, jazz, samba), Alpine Doc(Bavarian, Americana 50’s & 60’s), Tahja (Bavarian dancing), CeCe Teneal & Soul Kamotion (blues, soul, roots), Fleetwood Max (Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band), Ocean’s Eleven Big Band (big band, jazz, swing), Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio (rock, soul) and The Verge(classic rock 70’s to present).
