SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- San Francisco's Oktoberfest on Front block party will take place Friday along a single block of Front Street downtown. The festival will be centered around Schroeder's, the oldest Bavarian beer hall in the city with neighboring bars, Harrington's Bar & Grill and Royal Exchange also participating. The event will be California's first-ever "Entertainment Zone" event. Recently passed legislation allows for brick-and-mortar bars and restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the street at the event.
