Oktoberfest officially comes to an end on October 6, and in Somerville it will go out with a bang.
Redbones hosts its fifth annual Oktoberfest in Davis Square on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. There will be a beer garden and an "oompah band."
On Saturday and Sunday, Olde Magoun's Saloon is hosting an Oktoberfest celebration, complete with a tent, music, a Biergarten, picnic tables and special Oktoberfest food.
Also, Paulaner Brewery is bringing an 18-wheeler truck with functioning taps so you can sample six traditional Bavarian beers.
It takes place from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
Also, check out the video above. It's from Munich's official city website, and it shows people celebrating Oktoberfest in that city. If you skip 57 seconds into the video, you'll see that the good people of Munich are Boston fans.
