1999 - 1st Annual Oktoberfest
The 1999 Oktoberfest was the founding festival and
was organized by the now defunct Johnson Brewery and the Carolina
Brewmasters. Bruno was the top dog in the organization and setup of the
fest. It was held at Independence Park with about 500 people attending
and about 12 breweries on hand. The charity event gave $200 to the Parks
and Rec. Was a good beginning to the Charlotte Oktoberfest.
|
2000 - 2nd Annual Oktoberfest
The 2000 Oktoberfest was again held at the
Independence Park and Bruno was again the head man. A little improvement
made for approximately 700 people to come and see the beers available
from the 15 breweries on hand. The Parks and Rec. was again the charity
and received $500.

South End Brewery on South Blvd.. It was a very good

everyone's pleasure. A big portion of the proceeds went to the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society. |
