PHOTOS: Oktoberfest on Southport Draws Huge Crowd

The annual Lake View Oktoberfest celebration at St. Alphonsus Church was filled with smiles, beer and football. Do you recognize any of your neighbors?

Lake View kicked off October the right way with the annual, three day Oktoberfest celebration at St. Alphonsus Church. 

Starting on Friday with a performance by The Bratwurst Brothers, the weekend-long celebration featured non-stop entertainment accompanied by tasty food and even tastier beer. St. Alphonsus, located at the corner of Southport and Lincoln avenues, even had a huge tent with a projector inside playing football. 

The church even took to its Facebook page to comment on the festivities.
