New this year: DORA at Oktoberfest

Carmel recently launched its Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), and it will be in effect during Oktoberfest.

This means you can enjoy alcoholic beverages outdoors within the defined DORA boundaries, but only if they’re in a DORA-designated cup. Look for signage and stay within the permitted area as you sip and stroll through City Center. Cheers to a more walkable, fun-filled event experience.
