DOVER –
Downtown Dover restaurants will be opening their doors on
Saturday, September 15, from 12 to 5 pm for their annual Oktoberfest
celebration. This year, fifteen Garrison City restaurants will be
participating. Tickets are
available for purchase at all participating restaurants for $15 ($20 day of
event). Ticket purchasers will be
given a green wristband that will give them access to a free German appetizer
at each restaurant, as well as an opportunity to win prizes and giveaways courtesy
of event sponsors, Samuel Adams and 100.3 WHEB.
Those restaurants participating include: Asia, Christopher’s
Third Street Grill, Cartelli’s Bar & Grill, Blue Latitudes, Kelley’s Row,
The Spaghetti Stain, Central Wave, The Dover Brickhouse, Orchard Street Chop
Shop, Barley Pub, LaFesta Brick & Brew, Fury’s Publick House, The Farm,
Castaways and Harvey’s Bakery & Coffee Shop.
The Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, at 550 Central
Avenue, will also be a ticket selling location. For the third consecutive year, Oktoberfest will be donating
80 percent of all proceeds generated from ticket sales at the Chamber of
Commerce to City Lights, a volunteer Dover committee that illuminates the
downtown area during the holiday season.
Over the past two years, Oktoberfest has donated more than $6,000 to
City Lights.
“Oktoberfest is a great event for bringing people out to
downtown Dover,” said Oktoberfest coordinator Brian Kelley, owner of Kelley’s
Row. “It is also great that we are able to give a portion of the proceeds to
City Lights every year.”
In 2011, more than 1,700 Oktoberfest tickets were sold. Kelley expects more than 2,000 people
at the event this year. Attendees are encouraged to buy their tickets early as
the first 500 purchasers will receive a Samuel Adams beer stein and Oktoberfest
t-shirt.
