Big Canoe, Georgia is a gated resort community located in the North Georgia Mountains. Each year Big Canoe celebrates the beginning of Autumn by hosting Oktoberfest with friends, festivities, fun, sausages and of course a genuine Oom-Pah Band! This Oktoberfest was a big hit with the largest crowd ever more vendors than I have seen as well.
It was a lovely sunny day with a slight breeze and cool enough for long sleeves. Many friends and neighbors were seen carrying umteen different hand-made crafts purchased by the vendors in one hand and a big old Warsteiner cup in the other! Others went straight for the food lines and came out happily with brats, sour-kraut, German Chocolate cake, brownies, and or course delicious Bavarian pretzels with extra salt! The Oom-Pah band played for all of Big Canoe to hear and there were some brave (possibly too much Warsteiner) neighbors that shook their groove things out on the dance floor. We watched them from our table under the very large tent.
Big Canoe Animal Rescuewas a very popular venue with some very handsome rescue-dogs ready to be adopted. The community volunteers for BCAR are truly devoted to rehabilitating and finding homes for these sweet dogs. It wouldn't be Oktoberfest without them.
There are many other Big Canoe community events throughout the which makes this neighborhood such a treasure. This serene neighborhood allows you to be completely secluded when you want to be but at the same time you can fill your calendar to the gills with social events.
