The Delta Hotels by Marriott Helena Colonial is hosting an Oktoberfest event on Wednesday, October 28, with German-inspired food specials and Hofbräu beer. Admission is free, and the hotel is leaning into the theme with a menu built around Bavarian classics.

The food lineup includes pretzel bites with beer cheese sauce for $10, German pork schnitzel for $19, and additional German-inspired specials. Hofbräu, the Munich brewery with roots going back to the 16th century, will be the featured beer of the evening.

For Helena, an Oktoberfest at a hotel bar is a modest but straightforward way to mark the season. The Delta Colonial is a fixture on the Walking Mall corridor and the event is open to the public. October 28 puts the celebration well past the traditional Oktoberfest close in Munich, but nobody here is going to complain about schnitzel in late October.
