Oktoberfest returns to Iowa City on Saturday with promises of beer and fun. The event features three sections: BrewFest, Bier Hall and SodaFest. BrewFest offers samples of beer and wine from vendors on the streets, but it usually sells out early, so consider buying your tickets before you go.

The Bier Hall, which you can visit with general admission, brings community and more beer. A ticket to Bier Hall comes with a free pour at the entrance, plus a mug to fill from street vendors.

And the kids? They can come, too. SodaFest provides plenty of fun activities, inflatables and soda samples.
