West Side Brewing is turning its Oktoberfest into a five-day party.

The brewery kicks things off on Saturday with a stein-holding contest and a performance from the Zinzinnati Bierband, and will have various German-inspired food, special beer releases, events and entertainment through next week.

The party ends Thursday with a show from Bidinger Musikanten, a 16-piece band from Germany. 

Sept. 14-19. Free. West Side Brewing, 3044 Harrison Ave., Westwood, facebook.com/westsidebrewing.
