TO DO  EAT  STAY  EVENTS 
Prost to Bratwurst, German Brews, Bavarian Music, and More at St. Charles Oktoberfest
A German village springs to life in Frontier Park with food stalls, gift vendors and round-the-clock entertainment from September 27 to 29 for Saint Charles Oktoberfest. Bavarian flags flutter throughout the park, alpine signs guide you to various attractions, and charming wooden structures evoke the ambiance of Germany.

Highlights include the ceremonial keg tapping to kick off the event at 6:30 PM on Friday. Live music from bands like Polka Floyd and the Bavarian Wurst Band fill the air, complemented by German dance performances. Saturday features contests like the bratwurst eating competition, the Raise the Stein challenge, wiener dog derby, and more music. Sunday begins with the Wurst Race Ever 5k and 10k, followed by an antique car show on South Main Street, and family-friendly activities at the festival.

Don your lederhosen, grab your stein, and join us for a weekend packed with German culture, food, music, and fun at Saint Charles Oktoberfest!
