Prost! Get ready for a fun day of German style brews, delicious German food, live music, entertainment and all the Oktoberfest vibes!

Celebrate Oktoberfest traditions in true German style!
Saturday, September 12, from 12–9 PM

Join us at noon, raise a stein, and help us kick off Oktoberfest with the ceremonial tapping of the keg. Once the first pour is flowing the celebration is officially underway. German sausages, pork, chicken, potato salad, pretzels, strudel – give all the traditional German dishes a try. Polkas, German drinking songs, traditional German folk dancing to festive party tunes, live music will accompany you all day long. Games for the whole family and a bouncy house for the kids, too. Do a little shopping from our selection of German imported crafts and local vendors. Danke to our sponsors: Zoiglhaus Brewing and Wienerwurst!

Interesting in volunteering?
There will be a setup activity on Friday, September 11, as well as a cleanup activity on Sunday, September 13. Please contact us at contact us at info@germanamerican.org or 503-775-1585.
