The Philadelphia Bourse, originally built in the 1890's, just underwent a multi-million dollar renovation and will hold its grand reopening on Nov. 17. Here's a gallery of what has already opened in the completely-renovated space that resembles the likes of the New York's Chelsea Market.
On Saturday, Sept. 21, Munich will kick off its 186th Oktoberfest. That same day, Philadelphia's food hall, The Bourse, will also celebrate Oktoberfest by transforming into a beer hall for one day only.
There will be 16 German beers available with keepsake mugs, as well as food specials and entertainment.
At 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. there will be traditional dance performances by the United German Hungarian Schuhplattlers and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Polkadelphia will play.
