Sunday, September 20, 2026, 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM ยท Biergarten, Hayes Valley, San Francisco
Blowmusik plays live at Biergarten's Oktoberfest kickoff on Sunday, part of a full schedule of German brass bands running through October.
An outdoor biergarten (communal wood tables, no walls, no weather guarantees) that runs on German beers on tap and the snacks they were always meant to accompany. The Pretzel with Obatzda (Bavarian cheese spread) is the move to start; the Brat Basket brings two sausages with potato salad for the table. Weather permitting, it's one of the few real outdoor beer settings in Hayes Valley.
