The Brackenridge Park Conservancy is hosting its 14th Annual Parktoberfest, a celebration of German culture, food and beer. There will be free samples from local breweries, live German music, and food for purchase
Parktoberfest honors Emma and Otto Koehler of the Pearl Brewing family. Emma donated 11 acres to the City of San Antonio to add a section to Brackenridge Park where alcohol could be served. In 1901, Mr. Koehler began operating a beer garden named Madarasz Family Park for the site’s previous owner.
