Second Annual Mind Yer P’s & Q’s Oktoberfest was true to its name in fare, brew, music — and in some cases, appearance. The popular German-influenced fall festival drew hundreds during a three-day run on the grounds of Renaissance | Farragut, 12744 Kingston Pike, Friday through Sunday, Sept. 30-Oct. 2.

Guests enjoyed authentic German favorites such as schnitzel, bratwurst, Bavarian pretzels, beer cheese, German potato salad and red cabbage, along with a variety of German beers.

While teenaged and adult guests also enjoyed a variety of musical talent each of the three days, children had fun in bounce houses and gliding down inflatable slides.

Proceeds benefit Alzheimer’s Tennessee and PJ. Parkinson’s Support.
