Celebrating 15 years in 2026!

We look forward to hosting you at Oktoberfest! Proceeds from the event help fund local and national initiatives, including scholarships, polio eradication, parades, hunger, exchange programs, and more!

The event will kick off with a traditional Wilkommen (welcome) ceremony and Tapping of the Kegs.

The rest of the day will be jam-packed with entertainment. Enjoy live music, games, activities and contests that will occur throughout the day, include many events for kids. Also, look for a bags tournament, a keg toss contest, and the crowd favorite stein endurance (AKA mug-holding) contest.

A variety of German beers and tasty wines will be available by the glass (or stein). Traditional German favorite foods like brats, sauerkraut, pretzels, and more will be served.
