Oktoberfest CANCELLED

Description

Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc. has cancelled upcoming festivals through May, 2021, including this year's Oktoberfest, due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to seeing you at next year's Strawberry Festival on June 26 & 27, 2021!

For additional updates, please visit our website at cedarburgfestivals.org or on our Festivals of Cedarburg pages on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.

A perfect weekend in October includes Cedarburg's 13th Annual Oktoberfest in Downtown Historic Cedarburg.

A huge tent is erected in the Community Center Parking Lot (W63 N641 Washington Ave.) covering the bands, dance floor and tables, and lending a true Oktoberfest feel. Oktoberfest offers authentic German music including the Pommersche Tanzdeel Freistadt Dancers, Tuba Dan, the Alte Kameraden Band and the Cedarburg Civic Band, plus a wooden dance floor for polka fans. The live Glockenspiel, a delightful goofy giant cuckoo clock that comes to life every two hours, is another huge crowd pleaser. And there will be a merchants' marketplace, too.

You will find a variety of German foods and beers, not forgetting German desserts. Specialty beers such as Hofbrau, Hacker Pschorr, Leinenkugel Oktoberfest and BlueMoon, plus a variety of Cedar Creek Winery wines, including the Gold Medal Cedar Creek Riesling will be available, too.

Silly contests with prices include Best Lederhosen/Dirndl attire (male and female); sauerkraut eating contest and Sunday's German spelling bee from Ault to Zither (A-Z).
