3
Making their debut performance at this year’s Oktoberfest in Irondequoit will be the 10-person — eight musicians and two vocalists — Classic Memories band, which will present a little something for everyone: German, Austrian, Ukrainian and even Latin music.
Why you should attend
The annual Oktoberfest at Irondequoit’s Camp Eastman is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012. It started in 1987 and has grown every year since, now encompassing two weekends and five full days of “gemutlichkeit,” or traditional, spirited German music, entertainment, food and more.
There are even special activities for younger fans (up to age 10), from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays, 2 to 8 p.m. Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
