Yuengling Oktoberfest Returns October 4 with Revamped Food, Lineup and Lower Cover & Beer Prices

More authentic German food, lower cover charge & Pistol Peg set for October 4 event
By
September 5, 2014

CURVE, Pa. - A revamped Yuengling Oktoberfest returns to Peoples Natural Gas Field for a fourth installment on Saturday, October 4 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event, which is now open to all ages, will carry a cover charge of only $5 for adults while kids 12 and under are free.

Mr. Oktoberfest Joe Maloy and the Grammy-award winning Dick Tady Orchestra will provide the authentic Oktoberfest-style music for the first portion of the four-hour event at PNG Field. Headlining this year's event will be fan-favorites Pistol Peg & The Beer Kegs, who hail from Altoona. Pistol Peg, an all country cover band, has a large following in Altoona and its surrounding areas. This will be just the second time that the popular six-member band has played at Peoples Natural Gas Field (the other was for "Ballpark Block Party 2012"). 

After receiving some fan feedback from prior events, this year's Yuengling Oktoberfest event will feature even more traditional German-style food available for purchase. In addition to more authentic German-style fare, beer prices for the event have also been reduced to $3 for 16 oz. drafts and cans.   Fans will still have the same great choices of Yuengling beer like the seasonal 'Oktoberfest', the traditional Lager, Light Lager, Black & Tan and Premium Light.

"The feedback we've received from previous events has been positive, but there were also suggestions on how to improve it. As such, we are opening it up to all ages, making it more affordable, and offering up more authentic food," said Curve General Manager Rob Egan. "We think adding Pistol Peg & The Beer Kegs to the musical entertainment will also open the event up to a broader audience, including some who have never been to the ballpark before."

Yuengling Oktoberfest will be rain or shine with the bands playing on the main concourse on the first-base side. Seating will be available near the bands, throughout the main concourse, and in the lower seating bowl. In addition, there will be vendors with seasonal crafts and year-round products for attendees to peruse. Vendor spaces are available for as low as $20 and can be reserved by calling Emily at (814) 283-3108.

The Curve, PA Kids' Zone will be open with a bounce house, baseball hitting game, and other activities. The pitch speed cage, a cornhole court, and other festival-style games for the 'big kids' will also be available to play. People of all ages will be able to go on to the field and play catch in the outfield grass during the event.

Tickets for the event are available now by calling 877.99.CURVE, visiting AltoonaCurve.com or stopping by the offices at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Season tickets for the 2015 Curve season are on also currently on sale with early-bird pricing in effect for those who renew and pay in full by September 30, 2014.
