"In Germany, the world's largest Oktoberfest celebration will pack Munich's beer halls from Sept. 20 through Oct. 5.

Check out our roundup below of events large and small; in most cases, you would be well-advised to buy tickets in advance. If you know of other events and restaurant specials, email jmetcalfe@bayareanewsgroup.com and we'll add them to the online roundup."
