Renaissance Faire hosts annual Oktoberfest [photos] | Entertainment

The grounds of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire were full of German flair this weekend for Oktoberfest, which continued Sunday.

There were themed events for all ages, from the German children’s game Tophshlagen to Bar Olympics, where adults put their tavern skills to the test. Participants learned how long they could up a full beer stein and how many mugs they can carry.

For those who preferred feats of fashion, a Lederhosen Competition offered prizes.

Each weekend at Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire has a theme. Next weekend, Shamrocks & Shenanigans, celebrates Celtic culture.

The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire continues through Oct. 30. For more information, visit parenfaire.com.
