Harvest Haus brings Oktoberfest celebrations to Vancouver next month

Summer is still in full swing but we’re already looking forward to autumn and a big reason why is Oktoberfest.

Vancouver’s take on the traditional German beer festival comes in the form of Harvest Haus, a fun-filled weekend that takes place on September 29 and 30.

The eighth annual Harvest Haus takes place at the PNE Forum and combines modern cuisine with traditional and “authentic European harvest traditions,” according to the event’s website. Pre-sale access for tickets is available online.
