From the looks of it, the "village stage" which was speculated about earlier will go in the Festhaus planter.

I hope they add a giant styrofoam beer stein.
Surely what you're actually longing for is a giant snail, turtle, and some fireflies.
In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to seeing how the park pulls this off. Theoretically this is the first post-Scott, original, thematic construction we've seen thus far.

After further observation, the village stage might also be the stage on above the entrance to the Festhaus. I see they have set up the choral bleachers up there also. So maybe the planter will hold something thematic?
Some more information has been released to the site regarding Bier Fest.

I guess they heard me. For years I've wanted an Oktoberfest event in Germany in September and it looks like it's finally happening. Good Job Busch.Busch Gardens Williamsburg said:
I have to say, this seems to be turning out to be a nice little event. Although I won't be participating in the alcohol portion of it, I think that it is still good that the park is bringing in local Brewers and beer. I, personally, am very interested in the culinary creations, the pretzel nugget necklace definitely seems like something I would enjoy. 
I love the pretzel nuggets, but I wouldn't want to carry anything greasy on my neck or shirt. Authentic German food is like a flip of the coin with BG.
Also, I can't believe they used the term "Bürgermeister". They said there was only one Bürgermeister at Busch Gardens. Besides, most German towns have the keg tapping done by the local Bishop. The idea is for him to give his blessing on the beer and fellowship.

Didn't BGW have some kind of church service during HOS last year?
Edit: Found it! There was a Catholic Mass in the Fiends theater last HOS!

Here is Busch Dominion's post to Facebook featuring some of the progress that has been made for the Bier Fest:

The village stage seems to be being setup in the Bier Garten beside Der Wirbelwind, along with a lot of barrels(some being re-used from the F&WF) with garland on top scattered around the hamlet. Here are some larger photos of these things:
