7th Annual Oktoberfest Fundraiser 
Saturday, September 23, 2017
In the true German tradition, this year's Oktoberfest
​Craft Beer Celebration will take place in September.

A brief history lesson:
The original Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival, held annually in Munich, Germany. 2017 marks the 184th year of the event. Believe it or not, beer wasn't even served the first year (or for the next several). Instead, it was a large festival honoring the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Therese of Sax-Hildburghausen. The festival continued to be held each year. Eventually the beer was added, and Oktoberfest grew into the legendary event it is today. To take advantage of better weather conditions, the start date was moved ahead to September. Today it runs for more than two weeks, ending on the first Sunday in October.

While Germany's celebration lasts for more than two weeks, ours will be
​just one evening. Join us on Saturday, September 23, 2017.
