Oktoberfest
September 30th-October 1st
Friday and Saturday in the Downtown area of Panama City, the Annual Oktoberfest will transform the area into a quaint village in Germany. Visitors to the event should expect to see carnival rides, accordions, sausage eating contests, and more. As one would expect, there will be plenty of musical stylings, including polka music. Keeping children busy with rides, clowns, and face-painting the festival will also be occupying adults with a wide selection of beers. There will be Omm-Pah-Pah concerts and ceremonial keg tapping!
Murder Mystery Cruise
September 30th
This coming Friday evening The Betsy Ann Riverboat Cruise will be hosting a Murder Mystery Cruise. Taking off at 6:30pm from the Sun Harbor Marina at the base of the Hathway Bridge, The Betsy Ann Riverboat will return at 8:30pm. The price is $38.95 per person and $26.95 for children 5-12 years old. The cruise promises to send you back in time to learn the history of steam paddle wheel boats and when the original Hathaway Bridge was built.
Have fun this weekend exploring Panama City Beach and please “look twice- save a life” of a motorcyclist!
