ABOUT THE EVENT:
Enjoy German food such as bratwurst, ox-on-the-spit, potato pancakes, sauerkraut, red cabbage, potato salad, salted pretzels, and a variety of European pastries. Let a great selection of German beers and liquors – or water, soft drinks and coffee – quench your thirst while you enjoy traditional folk dancing, choir recitals, drama routines, stein-holding competitions, and interactive musical entertainment. Games, contests and prizes, a Kid Zone and a variety of shopping booths line the patio “tent” for additional all-ages fun. Enjoy the Opening Day Parade with Club VIPs and dignitaries, the Tapping of the Keg, and the Crowning of our 2024 Oktoberfest Königin (Queen) on Friday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m.!
THE MUSIC:
Our band, the Guggenbach-Buam, joins us from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. These talented, entertaining musicians play a variety of German music, just as you would hear in the beer gardens in Bavaria. Dance or sing along to some wonderful Oom-pah music! On Saturday nights, the Clubhouse is also open with live German music by the Gordon Kohl Band.
THE RAFFLE:
Raffle tickets are on sale throughout the Fest. Prizes will be drawn for during band breaks, and winners must be present to collect their prizes. A Grand Prize of a flight for two to Germany will be drawn on Sunday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. You don’t need to be present to win the Grand Prize.
PARKING:
Parking is free but is extremely limited. Please use Uber or Lyft, take a Taxi, or use another form of rideshare services to get yourself to and from Oktoberfest. Consider carpooling or using public transit and walking from the nearest transit stop. Plan ahead and prepare responsibly.
