Saturday, September 5, 11 a.m.-8 p.m.
Join us for a free, festive Oktoberfest celebration!
Anderson Parks is bringing back the fun with its second annual Oktoberfest celebration, inviting the community to experience a free, festive day filled with food, music, and family-friendly activities.
Enjoy the lively atmosphere with live music from Ein Stein, Polka Cola, and Groove Masters, and join in on crowd favorites like the Chicken Dance. Local food vendors will serve up delicious eats, and regional breweries will offer a variety of craft beer selections.
This year’s event features returning favorites like The Great Oktoberfest Weiner Run and newly separated men’s and women’s stein hoisting championships. Kids can also join in on the fun with a Children’s Cup Hoisting, adding even more excitement for families.
Come dressed for the occasion and show off your best Oktoberfest style while celebrating with friends, neighbors and family.
Whether you’re coming for the music, the food, or simply to connect with friends and neighbors, there’s something for everyone at this growing community tradition. More details, including a list of food vendors, will be posted on here as they become available.
