Festing in the Fall
October Fest is a great time to kick back and join together with friends and family to de-stress from everyday responsibilities in a little amount of time. Located right at the heart of Philadelphia’s City Hall, October Fest takes place right in Dilworth Park for anyone to join into activities. Anyone twenty-one and under cannot drink alcohol, but can still enjoy the time by playing games, dancing to music and being with the one’s they love. This also includes anyone over twenty-one.

The Theme That Revolves Sia
On Wednesday, October 12, 2016, DJ Carl Michaels played at October Fest with a SIA themed playlist. Dancers from a local group came out to perform two dance routines that revolved around Sia’s music. The costumes replicated dancer, Maddie Ziegler’s, costume in all of Sia’s music videos. Both dances brought crowds in from the event and even from pedestrians on the street. The passions in the dancers led to a beautiful performace.

The Best of Many Worlds in One Setting The games that guests were offered were endless. From foosball to bean bag toss to many different board games, people had the option to be a kid again for a night after working a long day in the city. Particularly, Andrew Kramer and Mariann Wilusz came to Oktoberfest to see what it was all about. They said that it is going to get real cold real soon, so it is a great last time to enjoy the weather with a nice beer after work to enjoy the last days of the warmer weather. They played bean bag toss while enjoying each other’s company. 6
