4 Reasons to LederGOsen to this year’s Oktoberfest Celebrations
- No Car Necessary from the GTA
Go Transit’s new LederGOsen Line makes its inaugural Oktoberfest run on Saturday, October 12th. Leaving from Toronto’s Union Station at 12:38PM the LederGOsen Line makes stops at the Bloor, Weston, Malton, Bramalea, Brampton, Mount Pleasant, Georgetown, Acton and Guelph GO stations. Leave your car at home and let the LederGOsen Line transport you to and from Oktoberfest!
- The party starts as soon as you step off the train
Step off the train and right into Bavaria as the sounds of accordion music fill the air and steins of cold beer wait for the first notes of Ein Prosit. Special guides will meet you as the train arrives in Kitchener, and will lead the way to the heart of the action in downtown Kitchener!
Oktoberfest Tip: Make your experience even more authentic and dress the part – dust off your dirndl and don your lederhosen and immerse yourself in Bavarian culture and fun as you ride the train to the festival!
- Be transported to the heart of Oktoberfest!
Once you arrive in Kitchener, you’ll receive a warm, VIP welcome and then it’s off to Wilkommen Platz – the heart of Oktoberfest celebrations in downtown Kitchener! The downtown core is transformed into a bustling Bavarian village complete with a biergarten, vendor market, KIDtoberfest, DOGtoberfest, food trucks and two stages providing live entertainment throughout the day.
