Because let’s be honest… no one likes wet bags. 😂🌧️

The rest of the fest is ago, so stop down for the harvest sale until 2pm!

🔨🍺 HAMMER & NAILS AT IOWA OKTOBERFEST! 🍺🔨

Think you’ve got the steady hand, the aim, and the hammer swing to take the win? Come find out! 😂

Grab a hammer, pick your nail, and see if you can drive it home before your competition does. It’s simple, it’s ridiculous, and after a few Oktoberfest b**rs… your aim may get very interesting. 🍻🤣

Come watch the competition, cheer on your friends, and give it a shot yourself!

🇩🇪 Iowa Oktoberfest
📍 Anton’s Garden • Downtown Waterloo
🍺 Good b**r. Good times. Questionable hammer skills.

Music by 🚨Polka Police👮‍♂️Catch them until 10:00 PM today, September 25, 2026
