If you can’t make it to Munich for Oktoberfest this year – host a mini party at home to celebrate! Just make sure your celebration happens between September 16-October 3 (the official dates of the festival). For this Bavarian party, we served beer in mini steins, mini sausages (cocktail sausages also work!), mini pretzels, and a selection of different mustards. We also made bunting and flag pick printables based on the traditional Bavarian flag…

We purchased a few different kinds of German beers, and covered the labels, so we could do a taste-testing game. (The mini steins are perfect for this.) For the mini soft pretzels, we used this recipe.

Are you hosting an Oktoberfest party this year? Prost!
