AMANA, Iowa- Dust off your Dirndl and Lederhosen and join us to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of Oktoberfest in the historic Amana Colonies. There’s an authentic experience waiting for all ages during this traditional German Celebration. German Food, Music and FUN!
Friday’s festivities will kick off with the traveling of the keg from Millstream Brewery to the Festhalle Grounds for the official keg tapping ceremony. On Saturday at 10:00 a.m. the Oktoberfest Parade begins through the Main Street in Amana.
Late in the day you can test your skills and strength with traditional Oktoberfest games at the Market Barn; Eisenmann Competition, Log Sawing, Keg Toss, Naglehauen, and the Brat Eating Contest.
As always, there will be family fun at Kinderplatz on Saturday, or the new Fotoplatz that will transport you to Germany with the click of the shutter. The Oktoberfest grounds offer great music and food along with fantastic atmosphere in the Festhalle Barn or the outdoor patio seating.
To get the most authentic German experience without getting on a plane you’ve got to come to Oktoberfest in the Amana Colonies. It’s Iowa’s place for German music, food and fun.
