Unleash your inner German and get a free serving of Wings during Oktoblerfest at Wings restaurant in Vernon.

Organizers of the Bavarian-themed event say ticket sales are picking up.

But, if you don't need to take part in the beer and food tasting portion, simply show up in your best Bavarian outfit to get a free order of wings.

While VIP passes are going fast, all you need is a free "event pass" if you're game to throw on a dirndl or lederhosen.

A limited number of passes are available.

Register on Event Brite.

The collaboration between Okanagan Spring Brewery and Wings puts a local spin on Germany's Octoberfest.

Its name mashes together OK (for Okanagan) and Tobler, the last name of Vernon beer wizard and Okanagan Spring brewmaster Stefan Tobler.

The event runs from Oct. 7 to 10 and includes a talk by Tobler on the brewery's history.

Learn the story behind Okanagan Spring's 1516 lager, named after the Bavarian purity law of 1516.
