The Pacific Northwest's largest Oktoberfest fills this small Willamette Valley town's streets with biergartens, a Grand Parade, and Northwest wines and microbrews each September. It's been running since 1966 and draws crowds many times the town's population. You can also see wiener dog races, a car show, the Glockenspiel, or shop the arts and crafts booths.
