Oktoberfest is halfway over—but the fun is far from done! 🍻

Bring the family down today for cookies & crafts, horse & wagon rides, and live wood carving. Music kicks off at 11am with Biergarten Specials, rolls into some bluegrass pickin’ by CHICKEN WIRE EMPIRE, and we’ll close the night out with the always rockin’ Pink Houses. 🎶

🍺 Don’t miss the traditional tapping of the wooden keg at 7pm!

Huge thanks to McCoy Photography for capturing these awesome moments! 📸

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about bringing your pups to Oktoberfest! 🐾 Well-behaved, leashed dogs are absolutely welcome. Just a friendly reminder—during those busy times, it’s best to keep them out of the beer tent to avoid any accidental paw-stepping! 🍻 🐾
