It’s like having our Pan-O-Prog B**r Garden in September—but with lederhosen! 🍻

What makes Oktoberfest even cooler (besides the obvious, of course) is that the money raised goes directly toward helping feed our own Lakeville kiddos on the weekends during the school year through the Every Meal distribution program.

Thank you to our Diamond Sponsor, Lakeville Lions - Lakeville, MN, for finding new ways to serve our residents and give back to our community throughout the year. We’re lucky to have you! 💙

Oktoberfest Lakeville Returns! Get ready to raise your stein and enjoy some serious fun and good vibes!

Volunteer Opportunity!

Our friends at the Lakeville Lions - Lakeville, MN are one of Pan-O-Prog’s biggest supporters. The club spends countless hours prepping for and hosting some pretty incredible events during the festival. However; THIS weekend, they need a little extra help from all of us. Whether you can give them a couple of hours or a whole shift, every set of hands makes a difference.
