It's (almost) October, so why not get the party started early and celebrate Octoberfest NOW? That's exactly what's going on in Chinatown tonight, with the Octoberfest Street Festival. Starting at 6pm, Nuuanu and Hotel Streets will be packed with music, dancing, food, and traditional German challenges.

Music will be provided by a number of your favorite local acts, and food will be provided by many of the restaurants in the area, including JJ Dolans, Murphy's, Brasserie du Vin, Soul De Cuba, Tea @ 1024, Shogunai Tacos, El Yaqui, Mama's Soul Kitchen, and Not Just Desserts.

Following the festivities, the pary moves inside to the various clubs in the area for the CHINATOWN GETDOWN. One entrance band gets you into multiple clubs, including Hank's, NextDoor, Bar 35, thirtyninehotel, Manifest and more.

This all goes down tonight, starting at 6pm. Chinatown GetDown starts at 10pm. For more info, check out www.chinatowngetdown.com
