Oktoberfest Time

This Friday starts the first of 3 weekends of Oktoberfest 2024. Gates open at 4pm.   Bring your festival chair and sit under the oaks.

The fun continues on Saturday when gates open at 1 pm with more German music, beer and food, of course. (And there is a race, too!)

Our big change this year – We are accepting credit cards as well as cash at all booths!

Friday & Saturday. Admission is $10 – Children 12 and under free.  *More Info*

Oktoberfest Volunteers Needed

Yes, Oktoberfest is just around the corner.

Fill out our Volunteer Form to let the festival organizers know that you’re coming to help.  You can work one shift or many. We have enough volunteers for opening day Friday, but we need people on the other days. The evening of Saturday Oct 12 is especially short right now. Can you help out?

Go to the Volunteer Page for the form and more information.

German Unity Day

German Unity Day is the National Day of Germany, celebrated on October 3 as a public holiday. It commemorates German reunification in 1990 when the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) joined the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), so that for the first time since 1945 there existed a single German state.
