You may be wondering, "What the heck is Oktoberfelvis? Why haven't I heard of this global event?" These are good questions. Please grab a gigantic mug of beer, and we'll tell you about it.
In 2012, Leah (who really loves Elvis) and Tom (who really loves Leah) wanted to commorate Elvis with a party in August, the month we lost The King. They do that in Germany, too.
Unfortunately, we did not make that happen. After a great trip to Stuttgart later that fall, we decided we wanted to celebrate everything great about Germany with our own Oktoberfest. Yet we still thought wistfully about the Elvis party that could have been.
Then we realized: Who doesn't like Elvis? Who doesn't like Germans in tents drinking beer? Why not bring these two things together? And so Oktoberfelvis was born. Think of it as bell-bottom jumpsuits and thick sideburns meet lederhosen and dirndls. And the first Oktoberfelvis was so much fun, we decided to celebrate every year.
Prost! And thankyouverymuch!
