Columbus Pride Bands

Come down and get your Oktoberfest spirit on this weekend! We will be there--will you??

Bring on the Oompah!

We’re thrilled to welcome Columbus Pride Band’s Brass Quintet to Cavan for Mary Ann Brandt’s Oktoberfest celebration (this Saturday and Sunday 1 - 6pm at Cavan,) bringing the spirit of the biergarten to life with traditional German medleys and plenty of festive brass!

We’re also proud to support the band with fundraising activities during the celebration. Come support the band and the wonderful work they do in our community. Their music is guaranteed to put you in the Oktoberfest mood from the first note to the last stein raised! Prost to the band!

* Note of disclosure: This is an AI generated photo. The band is every bit as striking, but there will be no clarinet, saxophone or accordion player. Until now, all photos appearing in our promotional materials are 100% authentic and no way the product of artificial intelligence, digital enhancement or creative exaggeration. Particularly the one of Mary Ann Brandt posed on a hay bale in front of her Upper Arlington home. That’s real.
