I'm torn; on one hand, I think a GV-located Oktoberfest would be an amazing fit & add a tremendous amount of energy and personality to the event. On the other hand, I can see it being a nightmare for residents. Comfest with a fraction of the space & no grass, just bricks & pavement.
When Oktoberfest was held on Livingston, we had to deal with ridiculous amounts of trash being dumped in our yard and front patio, not to mention a constant flow of traffic, most of whom were drunk and quite obnoxious, to say nothing of the parking nightmare for the entire weekend.
I actually do enjoy Oktoberfest, but it can be a nightmare for the residents. Having it in the Arena District, or maybe even at Berliner Park, would not be a bad thing.
