Bigfoot Dave Says: It’s Parade Day, Helen!
Howdy, party people of the North Georgia mountains—your friendly neighborhood Sasquatch, Bigfoot Dave, here to stomp out the news you don’t wanna miss. Today, September 6th, the streets of Helen come alive with the kickoff of the one and only Oktoberfest Parade!
If you’ve never seen it, let me tell you—it’s not just a parade, it’s a Bavarian blast! Picture this: oom-pah bands blaring, lederhosen and dirndls twirling, floats rolling down Main Street, and the smell of bratwurst and pretzels drifting through the mountain air. You can practically hear the beer mugs clinking all the way from Unicoi!
🍻 What to Expect at Today’s Parade
Time & Place: The parade kicks off right in the heart of downtown Helen, marching down Main Street with music, floats, and a whole lotta cheer.
Family Fun: Bring the kids, bring your cousins, bring Uncle Earl (but maybe keep him away from the giant beer steins).
Bavarian Vibes: From brass bands to dancers, you’ll feel like you’ve been dropped straight into the Alps—without leaving Northeast Georgia.
This parade is the official start of Oktoberfest season in Helen, which means weeks of music, dancing, and all the German food you can handle. So if you’ve been waiting for the excuse to break out your suspenders and feathered hat… today’s the day.
🐾 Bigfoot’s Pro Tip
After the last float rolls through and you’ve clapped your paws raw, swing by Bigfoot Novelty & Tobacco right here in Helen. We’ve got the cigars, vapes, and party gear to keep your evening rolling strong. Think of it as the after-party pit stop Bigfoot himself would recommend.
🎶 Final Stomp
Whether you’re here for the beer, the music, or just to soak up some mountain town magic, Helen’s Oktoberfest Parade is the kind of event that makes September unforgettable. So grab your crew, snag a good spot along Main Street, and don’t be shy about waving if you spot a certain hairy fella cheering along.
See y’all at the parade—prost, friends! 🍺🐾
