Where can you find jousters, jesters, and a Grammy-nominated accordionist playing Party Polka all in one place? Find them at “Marchtoberfest,” a traditional German Pop-Up Biergarten featuring Hofbräu Bier in Wellington. Marchtoberfest is set to occur on Friday and Saturday, March 6th and 7th, in Wellington’s Town Center (12150 Forest Hill Boulevard).
