🍻 THE ULTIMATE OKTOBERFEST PARTY STRAIGHT FROM HOFBRAÜHAUS MÜNCHEN IS TAKING OVER FULTON MARKET 🍻 📍 Chicago – Fulton Market📅 September 18th – October 19th About the event: Get ready to raise a stein at Chicago’s biggest Oktoberfest — right in the heart of Fulton Market. We’re pouring official Hofbräuhaus München brews straight from Germany, serving up giant pretzels and juicy brats, and packing in non-stop Oktoberfest energy. Throw on your dirndl or lederhosen (or snag one on-site), then dive into stein-holding contests, carnival games, Oompah bands, and DJs. This year, the party’s got some serious pedigree—Munich’s biggest beer traditions are being brought to life by the original mastermind behind Hofbräuhaus Chicago, Mike Matushka, who’s back to raise the bar once again. It all kicks off this September 18th for a limited time only, so grab your crew, throw on your dirndl or lederhosen, and be part of the party everyone will be talking about. 🍺 Beer Exclusively from Hofbräuhaus The legendary Munich brewery behind the official Oktoberfest—Prost to the real deal. This isn’t just some themed brew. It’s actual Hofbräuhaus beer, brewed in Munich, shipped straight to us, and poured by the liter. If you know, you know. 🌭 Brats, Bites & Bavarian Vibes Jumbo pretzels, grilled bratwursts, classic sausages, and enough snackable bites to fuel your next round. Yes, it’s all made to pair perfectly with whatever’s in your stein. 🍹 Full Bars & Festive Sips Not a beer person? We got you. From spiced apple cider mules to Prost Punch and cinnamon schnapps, our cocktail game is just as strong. 🎲 Gaudi Games Think Oktoberfest Olympics—with a Bavarian twist. From stein-carrying races and barrel rolls to brat tosses and more, these high-energy games are made for big laughs, fierce competition, and unforgettable photo ops. 🎶 Straight from Munich: A Live German Band Experience Grab a stein and hit the Hofbräuhaus Stage for nonstop music, dancing, and next-level Oktoberfest vibes. This legit oompah band is flying in straight from Munich’s iconic Hofbräuhaus to turn Fulton Market into the ultimate Bavarian beer hall. Think pounding drums, wild toasts, and the kind of Oktoberfest energy you usually have to cross an ocean for. 🎡 The Devil’s Wheel A beloved fest tradition! Grab your crew and get ready to spin, slide, and laugh your way through this Oktoberfest crowd favorite. It’s fast, it’s wild, and it’s all in good fun. 👗 Lederhosen & Dirndl Pop-Up No outfit? No problem. Shop traditional Oktoberfest looks right onsite and get fest-ready in minutes. So grab your crew, pick a weekend (or five), and get ready to Prost like you mean it. This is Oktoberfest—Fulton Market style. And it’s going to be a blast. All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.

Makaya McCraven is a prolific drummer, composer and producer.His newest album, In These Times, is the triumphant finale of a project 7+ years in the making. Its a preeminent addition to his already-acclaimed and extensive discography, and its the album hes been trying to make since he started making records.McCraven believes that the word jazz is insufficient, at best, to describe the phenomenon were dealing with. The artist, who has been aptly called a cultural synthesizer, has a unique gift for collapsing space, destroying borders and blending past, present, and future into poly-textural arrangements of post-genre, jazz-rooted 21st century folk music. Profiled in Vice, Rolling Stone, the Guardian, and NPR, among other publications, he and the music he makes today are at the very vanguard of that phenomenon. According to the New York Times, McCraven has quietly become one of the best arguments for jazzs vitality. The artist explained to NPR in 2019, I dont think what Im doing is necessarily that far off of the legacy of jazz that I grew up in ... I think one of the things that gives it strength is that people want to argue over it. Thats a good sign. That means theres life here.In These Times, a collection of polytemporal compositions inspired as much by broader cultural struggles as McCravens personal experience as a product of a multinational, working class musician community, is the recording that McCraven has been trying to create for 7+ years, as its been slowly cooking in the background while his other works were released. He began recording In These Times seven years ago, but for whatever reason, Universal Beings just came to fruition much quicker. It just took more time for this to mature into everything its become. With the success of Universal Beings and the Universal Beings concerts that we did (with Red Bull) in Chicago at South Shore Cultural Center and le poisson rouge in New York, I had an opportunity to realize the record not as a collection of four sides of trios and quartets, but I turned that record as a performance into a 10 to 12-person concert, and that experience ended up evolving my approach to In These Times.In These Times encompasses all hes lived through, as well as his lineage, while also pushing the music forward. Music critic Passion of the Weiss suggested that McCravens work, both with younger players and the sounds of older recordings, is part of a necessary conversation about the next evolution of the Black improvised music known colloquially as jazz. Hes found the threads connecting the past with the present, and is either wrapping them with new colors and textures, or hes plucking them gleefully like the strings of a grand instrument. McCraven concurs: To me, that is the tradition that I want to try to take part in. Being well-rooted, but walking into the future, is really what all of the leaders in this music have done that I admire. And I think that resonates with people. Something thats like how we know it, but is evolving... Its just where I am at, where were at, and the evolution of that, and thats what Im trying to be.
