Four corners, 4 Oktoberfests to enjoy near The Grove Frisco
An onslaught of Oktoberfests is one of many wunderbar things about The Grove Frisco’s Four Corners location, where our hometown of Frisco comes together with the boundaries of Allen, McKinney and Plano.
To fit in all the uber fun, Oktoberfest starts in September and runs through mid-October around The Grove Frisco.
We’re having our own resident Oktoberfest celebration in September – it’s one of many festive events that make The Grove Frisco such a fun and neighborly place to live.
