The free event will take place after Siclovia from 2 - 5 p.m. at the Koehler Pavilion.
Parktoberfest honors the legacy of Emma Koehler who donated 11 acres of land to the City of San Antonio in memory of her husband Otto Koehler, who owned the Pearl Brewing Association.
The donation allowed the sale of alcoholic beverages on the west side of the San Antonio River and celebrated the beer garden that the Koehler’s operated, according to Brackenridge Park Conservancy officials who are hosting Parktoberfest.
