    Really? A comment?!?!?
    It sucks. Expensive. Incredible bad DJ who plays techno at an Octoberfest event…. The live music??? No idea how to get the audience involved. Definetly not by playing Lady gaga on Tuba and Accordeon.
    Organization? Not existant. Really total chaos!
    Not worth going. Better spend your money anywhere else but at the Harvest House!

    Sorry to hear that! It’s the first year it’s taken place, so it’s good to hear from you on how it was. Maybe you can make up for it with craft beer at Darby’s or a Van brewery.
