It's that time of year again.

The temperature is dropping, the leaves are changing color, and Oktoberfest Reston is nearing its return to Restown Town Center. Hosted by the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce, Oktoberfest Reston is once again expected to attract more than 80,000 visitors.

Restaurants and vendors from throughout Reston will line the streets of the Town Center on Saturday, Oct. 10, selling popular German fare and fall brews while live bands perform traditional Oktoberfest music. Oktoberfest Reston will begin at noon on that Saturday, and will run until 11 p.m.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, beginning at 8:15 a.m., the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce will host the Reston Pumpkin 5K and Kids' Pumpkin Dash to be followed by an Oktoberfest Scrambled Legs Breakfast to help runners refuel after the race. The Oktoberfest celebration will resume at 11 a.m. on that Sunday.

Admission into Oktoberfest Reston is free, but food tickets are $1 apiece or $20 for 24 tickets. You can purchase tickets at the Town Center on the day of the festival, or in advance here.
