Oktoberfest German Dinner!
The community is warmly invited to The Lutheran Church of Arcata’s Oktoberfest German Dinner on Saturday, October 25th. Now in its 12th year, this culinary event sells out early; so German food lovers are encouraged to “macht schnell” and get their reservations as soon as possible.
Oktoberfest at The Lutheran Church of Arcata features an authentic seasonal German menu showcasing Sauerbraten beef roasts marinated for a full week in a traditional wine-vinegar-spice brine; rich gingersnap gravy; homemade Spätzle (German pasta sautéed in European butter); sweet-and-sour red cabbage (Suss-saures Rotkraut); crisp and tangy German-style green salad with a sharp Bavarian vinaigrette; and garden-fresh bacon-pear green beans (Birnen, Bohnen, und Speck).
Accompanying this meal is a selection of freshly-baked German breads, prepared especially for the dinner by Arcata’s Beck’s Bakery, and crafted from all-organic, Humboldt County-grown and locally-ground grains. The breads, based on traditional German recipes, are baked the very morning of the event, and, in addition to being served with the meal, loaves are available for sale, while supplies last.
Our Oktoberfest fundraising event is a festive German dining experience, celebrating the heritage of our Lutheran tradition. Meals are prepared with authentic German recipes, made with love by members of our congregation, and served family-style at the table.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to these local organizations that serve the un-housed and food-insecure in our community:
• Arcata House Partnership
• Food For People, Inc.
• Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation
