I have had the privilege of living in Como Italy and exploring many European Countries. One of my favorite things that we did was to attend Oktoberfest in Munich Germany. We traveled from Como Italy by bus with folks from the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Some of my favorite stops along the way was eating German food and traveling through the Black Forest. The Black Forest is a place where fairy tales are born. It is a week of celebrations, beer tents, rides, lots of food and entertainment from German and Bavarian Artists.
The week of October 12-16th at Deep Creek Lake celebrates Autumn Glory and there are many similarities to the German Oktoberfest. This is a week of celebrating the fall foliage. A beer tent, 2 parades, crafts and car shows, glassblowing and a Farmers Market give added excitement to our area. Folks travel quite a distance to share in this celebration and to enjoy our beautiful foliage. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The air has fresh smells, the leaves are brilliant colors of red, yellow and orange and the temperature is perfect. The area offers a wide variety of things to do indoors or outdoors.
The ASCI whitewater course has my favorite event which is the Great Pumpkin Regatta, where numbered pumpkins are released to ride the rapids. Another favorite event is the Haunted Mountain Coaster at Wisp Ski Resort. This is simply a fun week for all ages. I hope you will join us for a week of fun and celebrations.

I look forward to seeing you around the lake!
