The Oktoberfest Tent is the huge 100 x 200 tent with the giant PROST letters on the outside and headline acts performing on the main stage.
The Biergarten is in the center of it all with the bar located in the Pavilion. It's a casual hangout for festgoers, with traditional German tunes played on the Biergarten (Park) stage, and a busy, busy bar.
The Backyard is relocating this year across the road under a 60 x 80 tent. This is where cans of local craft brews can be found, along with some favorite local "beyond-oompah" bands. The Bark Park is where the little-legged Dachshunds and Corgis race. For those of you who know the Walworth County Fairgrounds, it's Machinery Lot.
