Wurst and Kraut - View this location on map Fredericksburg's Oktoberfest is in the fall, but the celebration is year-round at the many beer gardens on Main Street. Order ale ($3 to $5.50) out under the stars at the Auslander (830-997-7714) and try the various wursts (brat, knack and pepper), served with sides like a mound of sauerkraut and a stack of potato pancakes ($11.95). Patio heaters will keep you warm if it's chilly at night. Or you can always warm up by dancing to live music Thursday through Saturday.''
