For most of us, the word Oktoberfest summons images of Munich and frauleins in traditional costumes bearing massive foaming jugs of beer.
However, Munich is a bit far away for a night out while Dundee is much more manageable. The Dundee Rotary Club are holding their own Oktoberfest at Discovery Quay from Friday 30 September to Sunday 2 October.
The event runs 6-11pm and will feature around a dozen live bands, 30 firkins of real ale; ten kegs of beer from our ale-loving neighbours in Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic plus platefuls of bbq steaks and German-style sausages.
Tickets are £6 which covers entry and the first pint. All profits go to charity.
