Honolulu's biggest Oktoberfest is back at SALT at Our Kakaʻako, a free, family-friendly event that is good news for anyone in Hawaii looking for German beer, food, and live music.

• The event runs on two Saturdays, September 19 and 26, from 5 to 9 p.m., with the barn area turned into a beer hall.
• Four of the six official Munich Oktoberfest beers are on tap, plus Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams versions.
• The first 96 people to buy a liter each night get a commemorative stein.
• Food includes brats, curry wurst, beer mustard, schnitzel sandwiches, and German bakery sweets.
• Live music comes from Chamber Music Hawaii's brass quintet and a band playing Oktoberfest songs.

Outlook: Entry is free and open to all ages, so expect big crowds on both Saturday nights.
