Akihabara Oktoberfest 2013

Why wait until October for your Bavarian beer festival when you can have it in, ooh, March? Jumping the gun on the events held in Odaiba, Hibiya, Yoyogi, et al. later in the year, Akihabara is staging its own Oktoberfest in the first week of March, though they're being prudent enough to hold it indoors rather than brave the elements. Head to Belle Salle Akihabara from March 1-6 for German (and German-style) beer from breweries including Hofbräu München, Franzikaner and Sankt Gallen, plus appearances from celebrity sports players and live music from Oreskaband.
