Historic Manassas and the Old Town Manassas Oktoberfest

Let's go for a walk in historic Manassas and enjoy the Old Town Manassas Oktoberfest!

❶ What we'll do:

• From in front of the museum, we'll walk counter-clockwise around the Manassas Historic District, with a short excursion to visit the Civil War Mayfield Earthwork Fortifications, ending at the Manassas Museum Lawn, where the Old Town Oktoberfest will be set up.
• The Oktoberfest features live German music, German food, arts and crafts, and (of course) a beer garden. The Oktoberfest will take place from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, so there's plenty of time to enjoy!
• The walk is just over 4 miles and should take around 2 hours; how much time you spend at the Oktoberfest is up to you. The surface is almost all paved, with a few gentle hills here and there.
