Oktoberfest & Locals Night
The Leavenworth Chamber is pleased to be producing & hosting Oktoberfest in Leavenworth this year.
The 2022 event will have a smaller footprint than previous years with the two locations, the Festhalle, along with Front St. between 10th and Division, and Front Street Park adjacent to the Gazebo. Many of our member business around town are also planning Oktoberfest celebrations, specials and live musics which we will also be highlighting as details are shared with us.
Icicle Brewing Co., Dog Haus Brewery and Blewett Brewing will be partnering with us and bringing their amazing brews plus a new collaborative Festbier just for Oktoberfest! We’ll also have German imported favorites our delicious Festbrat sponsored by Bavarian Meats, pretzels from the Scouts, pop up local retail booths, and some great bands. If current community restoration plans go well, a refreshed Beirwagon will return!
Located in a portion of the P1 lot will be a large Kinderplatz for the kids with games and a root beer garden (with ice cream from Whistlepunk!) AND a 42 ft Ferris wheel! No alcohol will be allowed in the Kinderplatz area.
Our local non-profits will be working the event as Oktoberfest Ambassadors and will have the ability to raise over $25,000 in funds over the course of the three weekends. We are also pleased to announce that Cascade Medical’s new Mobile Clinic will be onsite for the first time and will set the tone for our focus on increased security, alcohol enforcement, local law enforcement, as well as plenty of porta potties around!
