Get your mug-hoisting muscles ready: It's Oktoberfest at Time Out Market Boston. A free beer festival returns to the Fenway food hall on Saturday, Sept. 21, with a New England lens on the iconic autumnal activity. Sample marzens, festbiers, pilsners and more from nine local breweries, matched with Oktoberfest-inspired specials from some of the market's vendors. Did we mention the pop-up pretzel stand?! Enjoy the photobooth and tunes from a DJ—and that stein-hoisting contest? It's on. All activities are free, with food and full-size beverages available for purchase. Attendees must be 21-plus to sample beers.
