Despite today’s triple-digit temperatures, a couple thousand people flocked to A.J. Chandler Park for the Downtown Chandler Oktoberfest.
Tricycle races were one of several activities enjoyed by “kids” of all ages.
The polka band featured not one, not two, but three accordions. Oldtimers in the audience were singing along in German.
Chandler BBQ Company was one of several food vendors providing sustenance for hungry revelers.
Early in the afternoon, the spacious grass area in front of the stage was one of the least-populated spots. By evening, it was packed.

The coolest place to be Saturday was in the air-conditioned comfort of SanTan, which is celebrating its fourth anniversary.
